Biography
I am a Peruvian researcher that has been studying the ecological and human dimensions of the Humboldt Current, with emphasis on fisheries economics and governance. Before joining the Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries at the University of British Columbia as a graduate student, I worked as associate researcher at Centre for Environmental Sustainability of the Cayetano Heredia University in Peru (2010-2015), and at Inteligencia Financiera SAC (2014-2015); as consultant for OCEANA-Peru (2016), the GEF-UNDP Project: “Towards the ecosystem based management of the Humboldt Current Large Marine Ecosystem” (2013-2015), the Peruvian Ministry of Production (2014), the Peruvian Ministry of the Environment (2013), and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (2013); and, as fisheries advisor to the Vice-Minister of Fisheries at the Peruvian Ministry of Production (2012).
My research interests include: [1] Ecological modelling, [2] Integrated ecological-economic models, [3] Seafood value chains, [4] Ecosystem-based fisheries management, [5] Economic valuation of ecosystem services, [6] Small-scale fisheries, [7] Fisheries economics, [8] Fisheries law, [9] Reduction fisheries, [10] Food security and nutrition.
