Education
- BS, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, 1984
- MS, University of Puerto Rico, 1996
- Ph.D. in plant breeding and genetics, with a minor in statistics, from North Dakota State University, 2000
Professional Responsibilities and Activities
Breeding of dry bean varieties to select plants that are resistant to rust, white mold, common bacteria blight, and root rots; that have desirable qualities related to water efficiency and minimum tillage systems; and that have a more upright architecture, allowing direct harvesting.
