I am a scientist born and raised in the island of Puerto Rico and I am broadly interested in how carbon, nitrogen, and solutes move through and are processed in aquatic ecosystems and how these processes might respond to global change and anthropogenic pressures.

I received my PhD from Virginia Tech studying greenhouse gas dynamics in tropical and temperate wetlands. Currently, I am a Fulbright Postdoctoral Researcher working at the Centre d'Estudis Avancats de Blanes on carbon and nitrogen cycling in intermittent streams.

You can learn more about my research and education and outreach efforts, access my publications, and explore some photos from the field, from streams in the Siberian Arctic to wetlands in the coastal tropics.
