PD in Biological Sciences, University of Nottingham/Rothamsted 1999, worked on energy balance in tobacco and the impact of P nutrition and phosphoribulokinase. Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research 2000-2017, worked on rice physiology, determinants of yield, source and sink regulation of potosynthesis. Currently at Hohenheim, crop stress physiology: rice and wheat and impacts on P nutrition, temperature and water deficit.
