Driven by curiosity, defined by ecology
Where the tropical and dry intertwined
Growing up in a tropical country, my career has been driven by understanding how complex forest ecosystems are shaped. My work focuses on challenging traditional practices in science and tackling critical science communication barriers using innovative approaches.
Research: Unlocking the forest ecology
My work explores how plant shape and function vary across space and time in tropical dry forests. I zoom in on how the seeds of this unique and fascinating ecosystem migrate across islands, landscapes, and continents, revealing the forces shaping the structure and diversity of the neotropical dry forests, which is vital for creating effective conservation.
