About
I am an undergraduate Biology student at Universidad EAFIT interested in understanding microbial life in extreme environments. My research focuses on microbial ecology, geomicrobiology, and the biogeochemical processes that sustain life under harsh physicochemical conditions.
I investigate how microbial communities organize, persist, and evolve under ecological and energetic constraint — particularly in subterranean and oligotrophic systems. I am also drawn to quantitative and computational approaches that connect fieldwork with analytical rigor.
Previously, I worked as a Visiting Student Intern at the ECSO Lab, Purdue University, where I gained experience in evolutionary and cellular biology using yeast as a model system.
