Hi there! I am an Associate Professor at the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)

My research explores the dynamics of social-ecological systems, analyzing the intricate relationships between people and ecosystems. My work is interdisciplinary and spans three main areas:

1. Biodiversity, Ecosystem Services, and Human Well-being: Investigating the sociocultural, biophysical, and ecological dimensions of these relationships.
2. Landscape Ecology: Studying plant diversity and regeneration in tropical landscapes affected by human activities.
3. Conservation and Sustainable Management Strategies: Developing evidence-based strategies for conservation and sustainable management through interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches.

• Socioecological Systems Analysis: Investigating the dynamics and interconnections between societies and ecosystems.
• Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity Evaluation: Conducting sociocultural and biophysical assessments to understand ecosystem benefits.
• Community Conservation Strategies: Designing participatory and community-driven approaches for conservation.
• Spatial Modeling and Mapping: Utilizing geospatial tools to analyze and visualize ecological patterns and processes.
• Biodiversity and Human Well-being: Exploring the critical links between biodiversity and quality of life.
• Participatory Mapping: Engaging communities in the co-creation of spatial knowledge.
• Social Perceptions and Preferences Analysis: Understanding societal values and preferences regarding nature and its management.
• Nature-based Solutions: Promoting sustainable strategies to address environmental and social challenges.
• Nature’s Values in Decision-making: Highlighting the importance of ecosystem values for informed policy and management decisions.

I have taught a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses, including Field Ecology, Introduction to R Programming, Ecosystem Services, Applied Statistics in Ecology, Theoretical Ecology, and Informatics in Ecology. I have also conducted workshops on topics such as ggplot for data visualization, basic QGIS use for thematic cartography, and Mapping with R. These courses and workshops have been delivered across different institutions, including FES-Iztacala, ENES-Morelia, and the Posgraduate Program in Biological Sciences at UNAM.

I am actively engaged with the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP) and the Youth in Ecosystem Services Science (YESS) community.
