I obtained a bachelor’s degree in biology from Universidad del Valle (Colombia) and a master’s degree in molecular biology through a joint programme with Vrije Universiteit Brussel, KU Leuven, and the University of Antwerp (Belgium). Throughout my education and professional experience, I have gained expertise in microbiology, bioinformatics, and agro- and plant biotechnology. Currently, I am a PhD student in the doctoral programme in Biodiversity, Genetics, and Evolution at the University of Porto. My research, funded by the AIR Centre, focuses on evaluating the impact of climate change on nitrogen-cycling microbial communities in the Arctic Ocean.
