Summary

I am a marine biologist graduated from the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California Sur (UABCS) in La Paz, Mexico, and obtained my doctoral degree from the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My research interests have mainly focused on evolutionary biology of non-model mammal species (i.e. whales, marsupials and coatis) with an emphasis in ecological and evolutionary genomics, phylogeography, phenotypic diversity associated to patterns of gene expression and adaptation to different environments. Currently, I am involved in several projects, including fin whale, Virginia opossum and sea otter population genomics. I like hiking, camping, swimming and surfing.
