I hold a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from University College Dublin (UCD) and currently serve as a lecturer at the Faculty of Economics of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
My academic and professional work lies at the intersection of agricultural, environmental, and applied economics, with a particular focus on contemporary challenges in agricultural production systems. My research is grounded in econometrics, statistical and GIS analysis, and centers on production and productivity dynamics, with special attention to strategies for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the farm level. I also conduct research on broader economic topics, including income and wage dynamics, poverty, rural development, and the impacts of climate change.
This website presents an overview of my research agenda, including ongoing and completed projects, peer-reviewed publications, and conference presentations, providing insight into my contributions to the field. In addition, my curriculum vitae details my academic background, teaching experience, research funding, and professional activities as a consultant.
This platform is intended as a resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and others interested in agriculture, sustainability, and applied economic analysis. I welcome opportunities for academic collaboration, policy engagement, and professional exchange.
You may also consult my profiles on Google Scholar, LinkedIn, and ResearchGate for further information on my work.
