I am a PhD student at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, specializing in bioinformatics and population genomics. My research focuses on understanding the genetic diversity and local adaptation of Quercus macdougallii, an endemic oak species in Oaxaca, Mexico. I am passionate about using computational tools and data analysis to address conservation questions and ecological challenges. Additionally, I am deeply committed to educating others in bioinformatics, helping students and researchers leverage computational techniques for data analysis.
