Graduate Student
Emory University, Georgia, United States
I am a Fulbright scholar and Ph.D. student from Colombia. I earned both my B.Sc. in biology and my M.S. in agricultural sciences from the National University of Colombia. While at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, I was involved in research on the ecology of mosquitoes. My research interests center around biology, ecology, and the control of mosquito vectors that transmit diseases to humans. My dissertation delves into the release of lab-reared mosquitoes containing the endosymbiont Wolbachia as a biological control mechanism against mosquito species that are invasive to Latin America. He is motivated by the real-world applications of his ecological research to help fight disease.
