About

2005-2012. Bachelor degree in Agronomy from Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina. 

2012-2014. Employee in a seed company. Worked in Marketing & Sales Department in the central region of Argentina assessing different corn hybrids.

2015. Worked as independent researcher conducting field trials for a chemical company.

2016-2017. Research Scholar at Kansas State University. Function: Lab and data collection assistance to graduate students at a soil fertility and wheat and forages lab. I also conducted my owned modeling project in were we assessed different winter wheat morpho physiological traits for drought tolerance using SSM – Wheat model. Advisors: Ph.D. Dorivar Ruiz-Diaz and Ph.D. Romulo Pisa Lollato.

2017-2019. MSc degree in Plant and Soil Sciencies at University of Kentucky. My thesis project focused on how soybean-cover crop rotation can be optimize to improve weed management. Advisors: Ph.D. Montserrat Salmeron Cortasa, Ph.D. Erin Haramoto & Ph.D. Ole Wendroth.

2020-2021. Worked for a no-till farmers organization in Argentina, Aapresid. Functions: coordinate research projects over Argentina (South West Chaco, South Cordoba, Northpatagonia, Santiago del Estero, North Buenos Aires). These projects comprised topics like yield gap assessment, cash crop management, delimitation of environments due to different soil parameters, water and nutrient use efficiency, cover crop introduction into crop rotations.

2021-Present. PhD candidate in the Crop Production and Physiology program at Iowa State University under the advice of PhD Sotirios Archontoulis.
