About me

I am a PhD candidate in the Carlos García Robledo Lab and Jeff Seemann Lab at the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department, University of Connecticut.

I am interested on how plants deal with temperature, especially under the current and future global warming. I focus in understanding the effects of climate change on plants, from the leaf level to communities. Combining physiological and demographic techniques I will be able to identify potential species’ capacity to tolerate climate stresses and how communities will eventually fluctuate on time and space.
