About Dr. Rojas
Dr. Rojas completed his undergraduate academic formation at the Biology Department of the University of Costa Rica and his graduate studies at the Department of Biological Sciences of the University of Arkansas. His research has taken place in North, Central and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. However, his current (2023-2026) research interests are centered in urban ecology, food security strategies and ecosystem service quantification within Latin America.
Even though microbial dynamics in the context of ecosystem functioning is what Dr. Rojas has focused mostly on during his career, he also has research and academic interests in forest dynamics, ethnobiology, food security, climate change and sustainable cities in tropical landscapes. From a teaching perspective he is trying to increase the literacy level of environmental sciences in engineer majors and attempting to implement effective strategies of science communication to the general public in order to strengthen the technical formation of the next generation of decision-makers.
