Statement of interest: I am keen in sharing experiences with other colleagues on issues where knowledge and environmental adaptation and changes intersect. I am also interested in examining how research policies, governmental and non governmental, affect the value of local knowledge in finding alternatives in energy and solving local problems. Integrating local and western especialised knowledges to contribute to it, is crucial.

Geographical/topical area of interest: Latin America, although other regions with comparative purposes may be of interest too.
