About me

I am a biologist with a broad interest in the processes behind phenotypic variation, species richness, and community assembly. I am particularly intrigued by the long-term evolutionary consequences of ecological and population-level processes. I am currently an Associate Professor at the Iztacala School of Higher Studies, National Autonomous University of Mexico, where I lead the Laboratory for the Integrative Study of Biodiversity.

Besides research, I am passionate about bringing biodiversity science closer to the public. To do this, I use a variety of tools such as art, blogging, talks, and interviews. Teaching and mentoring are also central components of my career. I have ample experience doing both and I regularly take advantage of training opportunities to become a better educator.
