- 🎓 University Teaching (PUC): Lecturer of the undergraduate course Statistical Applications (Aplicaciones Estadísticas) at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, training students in statistical inference, experimental design, linear models, and applied data analysis in R.
- 🌾 PhD Research & Multi-Omics: PhD Candidate in Plant Biotechnology (PUC), focused on abiotic stress tolerance (heat and drought) in crops through the integration of Ionomics (
$K^+/Na^+$ , micronutrients), Transcriptomics (RNA-seq /DESeq2/WGCNA), and Metabolomics (antioxidant profiling, compatible solutes, proline, MDA). - 🦠 Agricultural Microbiology & Biocontrol: Quantitative modeling of plant-beneficial microbe interactions: antagonistic dynamics of Trichoderma spp. (mycoparasitism, volatile organic compounds VOCs, dual-culture inhibition), Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR: Bacillus, Pseudomonas), dual inoculation/consortia, biomineral solubilization (
$P$ ,$K$ , siderophores), and microbe-mediated abiotic stress mitigation. - 🎲 Bayesian Statistics & MCMC Inference: Advanced Bayesian hierarchical modeling with
brmsandStan, calibration of informative and regularizing priors, MCMC convergence diagnostics ($\hat{R}$ , ESS, trace plots), leave-one-out cross-validation (LOO-CV / WAIC), and Posterior Predictive Checks. - 🕸️ Structural Equation Modeling (Piecewise SEM): Disentangling direct and indirect effects in multilayer physiological networks, integrating hierarchical mixed submodels and directional separation (d-sep) tests.
- 💻 Scientific Software Development: Creator and author of the R packages
agriDesignR(v0.2.1, assisted experimental design engine, 2D micro-layouts, and hierarchical mixed models) andeasyModels(v0.4.2, automated and reproducible biostatistics), designed to translate cutting-edge methodological workflows to the university classroom and high-impact scientific research.
