My journey as a researcher began in 2009 at the University of Aveiro. Over the years, I progressed from a PhD student to a postdoctoral researcher and ultimately became a researcher, funding my positions through competitive calls. My technical background spans across several areas and with different degrees of expertise. These include microbiology, microbiome analysis, molecular biology, bioinformatic and biostatistics. I have authored and co-authored over 35 articles, some of which have been published in high profile scientific journals (https://www.cienciavitae.pt/portal/2119-2C29-3E33). I have co-founded two startups and was involved in all the process, including IP protection, prototype development, and engaging potential customers. I possess a comprehensive understanding of day-to-day business operations, including marketing, sales, and finance. I am driven by curiosity to learn and thrive in dynamic environments that foster innovation and growth.

About
A postdoctoral research scientist with over 9 years experience in bacterial genomics, microbiology, bioinformatics and antimicrobial resistance research. I’m seeking a Research Scientist or Epidemiologist role at public health genomics laboratories and I am the perfect fit for these roles because I have the following skills: molecular biology, research & development, strategic planning, project management, documentation, outbreak investigation, and cross-functional collaboration skills. I have leveraged my skills to work in a collaborative team-oriented environment to accomplish project goals related to examining the evolution of antimicrobial resistance as evidenced by over 7 national and international collaborations including the New York State Department of Health. I am also a proactive problem-solver adopting innovative and scientific thinking strategies in molecular biology to fulfill project objectives resulting in scientific discoveries including uncovering 1 novel hotspot for the dissemination of resistance in bacteria. I have gained mentorship expertise in promoting data reproducibility, and innovative research methodology in antimicrobial resistance research as evidenced by mentoring 10 professionals on evolutionary genomics, epidemiological statistics, and antimicrobial stewardship. I have also worked collaboratively with a team to apply pathogen genomics, bioinformatics, and leadership skills as demonstrated by working with over 10 highly collaborative teams including the Africa CDC. In addition, I have the following qualifications: Cross-functional collaborator and experience elucidating methods and frequencies of horizontal gene transfer and antimicrobial resistance spread in bacterial species, as demonstrated by 26 peer-reviewed publications including 1 in Nature Microbiology. Experience in leading and managing project details and tasks as evidenced by over 20 projects in pathogen genomics, epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance surveillance, and global health. Astute communication skills in bacterial epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance research resulting in 20 presentations and 6 travel awards to deliver such presentations, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I want to serve an organization that prizes community, collaboration and humility among its employees. I’m excited to be on a team built around impact, innovation and a strong, positive reputation. I know I will thrive at a company where responsibility is valued, as well as self-improvement and time-management. I want to be a part of an organization that infuses growth into their brand, culture and market and who I can help make a difference in the world.

About
Professor Ramirez is a native of Chile and a naturalized U.S. citizen since 1990. He received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1984 and has been at Trinity College since 1985. He has held visiting positions at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana (Summer 1991 and 1992), Haverford College (Spring 1992), Vanderbilt University (Spring 1999), and Yale University (Spring 2006). His teaching interests are primarily in the areas of Latin American economic development and international finance and open economy macroeconomics. At the College he usually offers Latin American economic development and Structural Reform in Latin America during the fall term, while international finance and open economy macroeconomics is taught during the spring term. He also teaches a course in Time-Series Analysis every other spring term, with particular emphasis on unit root and cointegration analysis, error correction modeling, and forecasting. Insofar as his research is concerned, it is primarily dedicated to analyzing the challenges and opportunities that Latin American nations face as they attempt to stabilize and reform their economies in an increasingly globalized world. In particular, his work has reviewed and analyzed the impact of IMF-sponsored adjustment and stabilization measures in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, as well as the mixed success of structural reform programs such as privatization of state-owned firms, deregulation of economic activity, and liberalization of trade and finance. His research has also focused on the economic and institutional determinants of foreign direct investment in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico, as well as the impact of these flows on private capital formation and labor productivity growth in Latin America. Another important focus of his work in recent years has been the growing role of remittance flows in financing private investment spending and boosting economic growth in countries such as Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Jamaica, and Mexico. Finally, he has published work in the history of economic thought relating to Marx's important analysis of wages and cyclical crises, his theory of absolute and differential ground rent, his analysis of the falling rate of profit, Marx's controversial writings on the so-called Asiatic mode of production, and his conception of capital as a social process.

Example soil science projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on soil science?

Developing Sustainable Agriculture Practices

A company in the agriculture industry can collaborate with a Soil Science expert to develop sustainable farming practices. The researcher can analyze soil composition, nutrient levels, and water availability to optimize crop production while minimizing environmental impact. This collaboration can lead to improved soil health, reduced water usage, and increased crop yields.

Remediating Contaminated Sites

Companies dealing with contaminated sites can benefit from partnering with Soil Science researchers. These experts can assess the extent of soil contamination, develop remediation strategies, and monitor the effectiveness of cleanup efforts. By collaborating with Soil Science researchers, companies can ensure proper soil restoration, comply with environmental regulations, and mitigate potential health risks.

Implementing Sustainable Land Development

Real estate developers can work with Soil Science experts to implement sustainable land development practices. These researchers can assess soil quality, drainage patterns, and erosion risks to design environmentally-friendly construction plans. By incorporating soil conservation measures, companies can minimize soil erosion, preserve natural habitats, and create sustainable communities.

Optimizing Fertilizer and Nutrient Management

Companies in the fertilizer industry can collaborate with Soil Science researchers to optimize fertilizer and nutrient management practices. These experts can analyze soil nutrient levels, recommend appropriate fertilizer formulations, and develop precision agriculture techniques. By working with Soil Science experts, companies can reduce fertilizer waste, improve nutrient uptake by plants, and minimize environmental pollution.

Assessing Soil Carbon Sequestration

Companies committed to reducing their carbon footprint can partner with Soil Science researchers to assess soil carbon sequestration potential. These experts can conduct soil sampling, analyze carbon content, and develop strategies to enhance carbon sequestration. By collaborating with Soil Science experts, companies can quantify their carbon offset efforts, contribute to climate change mitigation, and enhance their sustainability credentials.
