DVM, BVSc, Universidad Austral de Chile

I am a veterinarian and animal scientist with extensive experience in the dairy industry, specializing in the development and optimization of precision agricultural technologies.
My expertise spans ruminant physiology, ruminal fermentation, biochemistry, statistics, data science, farm management, and product development.
Building on this multidisciplinary background, I have advanced a new scientific understanding of dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO₂) — a key ruminal metabolite that plays a pivotal role in health, fermentation, and nutrition.
To translate this knowledge into practice, I am developing a patented ATR-IR IoT tool designed to:
Prevent peripartum diseases on farms,
Optimize ruminal fermentation, and
Reduce the environmental footprint of livestock production by lowering methane emissions through precision fermentation management.
