Summary

I am a scientist working and living in Puerto Rico. I value enthusiasm about discovery, and the collective nature of scientific enterprise. I also hope that what we learn in the process is going to be used to improve our lives.

I am a Professor within the Biology Department at Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Rio Pidras.

My research focus is social insect behavior. I study evolution and genetics of physiological mechanisms of behavior to understand integration of individuals into the functional social insect colony.
