I am a geneticist specializing in population and quantitative genetics, with a focus on coffee varietal improvement for sustainable agricultural systems. I combine field studies, partnerships in key production areas, and the use of omic data to study diversity and improve breeding strategies.

As a passionate naturalist, I am also interested in biodiversity, its conservation, and the evolutionary processes that shape it.
