Biography

Veterinarian Zootechnician and Master in Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources from the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico, and Doctor in Animal Sciences (PhD) from Laval University in Canada.

My areas of interest are livestock production systems, with a focus on milk production under extensive systems (grazing), semi-stable and stable. Likewise, with experience in the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions, carbon footprint and water footprint.

Professionally, I have done postdoctoral stays at the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico and worked as an associate and attracted researcher at the National Agrarian University La Molina.

I have participated in the generation of human resources by being an advisor for two doctoral theses in Mexico on milk production systems, and currently for two doctoral theses on alpaca production in Peru.
