Researcher to study the fungal communities and mycorrhizal associations through their roles in important soil processes in the old growth temperate forest ecosystems in Southern Chile and expertise in terrestrial biogeochemistry and soil ecology

Soil Biodiversity and Carbon Dynamic

I study how to optimize the cultivation of the whole diversity of indigenous mycorrhizal communities as well as develop novel methods for measuring their development. I investigate plant host specificity and preference to maximize positive agronomic outcomes from inoculation with diverse mycorrhizal mixes.

I'm interested in mycorrhizal nutrient dynamics

Soil fungi biodiversity characterization using next generation sequencing and bioinformatics

We are working on questions how abiotic and biotic factors influence the biodiversity, distribution and composition of plant-associated fungi in natural and managed ecosystems, including the effects of the plant-microbe interactions under controlled conditions.

Long-term monitoring of tropical forests of Southern Western Ghats in the context of climate change through permanent sample plots

Effects of forest management and drought on forest soils, in particular the role of soil fungi in carbon cycling

As a researcher and Geospatial Analyst, I do a lot of mapping as daily routine and work in soil, climate and forest conservation projects,

Endophyte-plant interactions in the model plant Marchantia polymorpha

Bacterial and fungal community and functional responses to natural and anthropogenic disturbances.

I am interested in characterizing fungal biodiversity and function along axes of disturbance using metatranscriptomic approaches, and leveraging my research to inform restoration/conservation initiatives. I am specifically interested in forests and fens of the Sierra Nevada (California) that are in peril due to rapid climactic and hydrological shifts.

I am interested in the molecular dialogue between plants, mycorrhizal fungi and bacteria during community formation. I apply electron tomography and light microscopy to study the structural organisation of community interactions during symbiosis and how the mechanisms of molecular transport inform our understanding of planetary health.

Mycorrhizal fungi play a crucial role in maintaining soil health, plant diversity, and ecosystem stability, yet vast underground fungal networks remain unexplored. Through the mapping  these hidden fungal networks, the study will fill biodiversity knowledge gaps, assess ecosystem resilience to climate change and human pressures, and propose mycorrhizal-based restoration strategies.

The overarching objective of this study is to survey and characterize soil fungal communities in the tropical rainforests of Mo'orea Island in the context of biological plant invasion and forthcoming climate change

Horizontal and vertical precipitation effect on above-belowground carbon cycle and microbial community in upper montane forests

Estudio de la intercomunicación entre plantas mediada por redes micorrícicas comúnes

Researcher in charge of custody, curatorship and scaling of HFMA accessions of the Collection of microorganisms with biofertilizer interest (CMIB) of the Microorganisms Germplasm Bank of Agrosavia. Additionally, research on the use of HFMA and its diversity applied in agriculture.
