About me
I am a Peruvian biologist interested in understanding how the Andes have shaped the genetic diversity of species. In this context, I have gained research experience in two main areas. First, I have worked as part of research teams analyzing the genetic diversity of Peruvian agrobiodiversity. Second, I am particularly interested in the evolution and ecology of high Andean freshwater fishes. In addition, I have participated in and organized projects related to citizen science and scientific outreach. My research interests include population genetics of domesticated species, soil metagenomics, and molecular ecology.
