Biography

I am a 33-year-old early-career researcher with a degree in Agronomy, as well as a Master’s and Ph.D. in Science. I am highly qualified to lead significant agricultural initiatives aimed at promoting agriculture for the benefit of society. As a researcher, I have 10 years of experience in publishing scientific articles, which has required me to become proficient in specialized software for data analysis (SAS, R, Python), geographic information systems (GIS) such as ArcMap and QGIS, the use of remote sensing tools (drones with multispectral cameras and Sentinel-2 imagery), as well as the management of natural resources and tropical agricultural crops. I am currently a full-time researcher at the National Institute for Forestry, Agriculture and Livestock Research (INIFAP) in Mexico, working in the area of Sustainable Natural Resource Management. My areas of expertise include precision agriculture, remote sensing, soil fertility, and data analysis.
