Lina Maria Tierradentro Rojas

I am an Agricultural Engineer graduated from the National University of Colombia - Palmira Campus and I am characterized by being proactive and results-oriented. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my academic performance and in my year of practical experience in the soil department at USP, Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture, where the focus was dedicated to the study of organic matter and soil fertility.During the first six months at ESALQ, I participated in various projects alongside doctoral personnel supervised by Professor Carlos Eduardo Pellegrine, where I carried out practical research activities related to soil organic matter in areas of native vegetation and those altered by anthropogenic use. In the remaining six months, I had the opportunity to engage in activities within the GEFA Study Group under the guidance of Professor Paulo Sergio Pavinato, where I conducted practical research activities related to Soil Fertility and Fertilization, involving fertilizer management and fertilization in crop successions, as well as the study of phosphorus dynamics in soil in production systems, which include cover crops and soil management.In addition to my technical skills, I had the opportunity to be involved in interdisciplinary teams, an experience that not only enriched my perspective but also allowed me to learn from professionals with different approaches and experiences. This period was not only professionally rewarding but also rekindled in me a renewed enthusiasm for research and continuous learning. I am excited about the prospect of further advancing my career through a master's degree, where I can continue to explore new ideas and make significant contributions to the agricultural field.
