Me

In life, I enjoy traveling, spending time with friends and family, gardening, reading about Colombian and Latin American history, photography, yoga, and working out, among other activities. At work, I use data science, statistics, bioinformatics, and machine learning to answer questions at the intersection of ecology, evolution, and human health. Welcome to my site!

My path

I was born in the Colombian Andes (Armenia, Quindío), surrounded by stunning landscapes, amazing people, and incredible biodiversity. I have moved quite a few times throughout Colombia and the US, and I am currently based in Tucson, AZ. However, I also spend a significant portion of my time exploring other places across the globe, always seeking new experiences and perspectives.

Current position

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the College of Information Science at the University of Arizona. Previously, I was a staff researcher in Aradhna Tripati's lab at UCLA, where I developed my expertise in computational approaches to understanding complex environmental and biological systems.
