Mi trabajo se centra en dos áreas principales: i) En ecofisiología frutal, tratamos de resolver problemas productivos a través de la comprensión de la interacción planta/fruta y el medioambiente (macro y micro) en especies de relevancia económica para el país (cerezos, manzanos, vides, entre otros), con especial énfasis en arándanos y ii) En mejoramiento genético, estoy interesado en el uso de la fenómica como herramienta para la identificación de individuos sobresalientes. Hemos focalizado los esfuerzos en la estimación de “caracteres fisiológicos complejos” (ej., intercambio de gases, fluorescencia modulada de la clorofila a, concentración de pigmentos y osmorreguladores, composición isotópica del carbono y el oxigeno, entre otros) vía espectrometría y termografía, en varios programas de mejoramiento activos del país (trigo, alfalfa, quínoa, arándanos y frutilla) orientados a estreses abióticos (salinidad, déficit hídrico y alta temperatura).
