About me

DSC04329_small.JPG

I am a Colombian behavioural ecologist and eco-physiologist.

Being raised in the countryside of Bogotá (the capital city of Colombia), I became fascinated by nature's mysteries. Since then, I decided to study biological sciences and especially, animal behaviour.

I am interested in why animals behave in the way they do, but particularly, how they deal (and will deal) with environmental and social challenges. My research has been mostly on amphibians and reptiles because I have a special fascination with these groups.

I am an R software enthusiast, principally for statistical and graphical purposes. 

Currently, I am a research officer at Green PRAXIS, a French start-up that aims to maximize environmental and economic benefits through sustainable vegetation management. My main area of work is wildlife management, particularly bioacoustics.

 

Before this, I was a postdoctoral associate at Macquarie University where I completed my PhD at the Lizard Lab supervised by Martin Whiting and Jonathan Webb (University of Technology Sydney).

 

I obtained my BSc (Biology and Microbiology) in 2013 from the University of Los Andes (Colombia). Then, in 2016, I finished my MSc under the supervision of Adolfo Amézquita at the same University.
