I earned a BA in Biology and a MA in Ecology from the University Pierre & Marie Curie, Paris VI (France), and a PhD in Ecology from the University Paul Sabatier, Toulouse III (France). After a post-doctoral position at the University of Connecticut, I came back to Colombia and joined the Andes University as a Visiting Professor, and then the Javeriana University as an Assistant Professor. Right now, I’m a researcher at the Humboldt Institue, and I’m coordinating the research agenda of Colombian forests.
