Crop Physiology & Crop Modeling

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Agronomy at K-State University, working on crop physiology and modeling projects. My area of interest is the study of environmental, genetic, and management drivers that determine yield and quality in grain crops.

 

In 2015 I earned my BS degree in Agronomy from the University of Buenos Aires. Then I did my doctoral studies at the same University, analyzing the impact of night temperature increase on wheat yield and quality. My thesis focused on evaluating the effect of warmer nights under contrasting conditions of resource availability (i.e., water and nitrogen) and plant density as possible management strategies to reduce the impact of temperature increases.

Also, I work as a teaching assistant in grain production classes of undergraduate courses at the School of Agronomy of the University of Buenos Aires.

Sustainable Intensification

Digital Agriculture

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Agronomy at K-State University. My mission is to contribute to improving the sustainable intensification of agricultural systems. This requires an integrated assessment that considers the impact of different factors (climate, policy, markets, technology) on the different dimensions of sustainable development (economic, environmental, social, institutional). When addressing agricultural systems, it is crucial to consider impacts from the crop level to the global level. I use quantitative and qualitative methods, including statistical analysis, crop modeling, surveys, interviews, and participatory approaches. Also, use digital agriculture technologies. By describing and explaining current systems, it is possible to explore and design future systems.
 
In 2017 I earned my BS degree in Agronomy from the University of Northwest in the province of Buenos Aires. Then in 2020, I earned my Specialization in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems at the University of Buenos Aires. Finally, 2023 I earned my PhD in Agricultural Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires.

I am a post-doctoral researcher in Ciampitti Lab at Kansas State University. Currently, I am working on crop modeling and data analysis in different projects.

I graduated in Agronomy at the University of Buenos Aires in 2016 and started my Ph.D. in agricultural sciences. My thesis focused on determining yield and grain protein gaps in malting barley, analyzing nitrogen and sulfur partitioning and remobilization to grains, and evaluating grain nitrogen and sulfur concentration as a determinant of malting quality.
In addition, I was a teaching assistant in an undergraduate course related to soil fertility and crop fertilization.
