Ricardo Ramirez-Romero

I'm a Biologist by the 'Universidad de las Américas-Puebla' (UDLA-P). In November 2004, I obtained a doctorate at the 'Université Paris XIII-Paris Nord' (Supervisors: Dr. Minh-Ha Pham-Delegue and Dr. Laure Kaiser), so I had the chance to live in Paris for five years. After this, In January 2005, I went back to Mexico and performed a Postdoc for two years at the 'Instituto de Ecología A.C' (INECOL) (Laboratory of Dr. Martín Aluja). Since 2007, I have worked at the 'Universidad de Guadalajara, México' (UdG), first as Associate Professor and later as a Full Professor. I performed research stays at Texas A & M University (Lab of Dr. Julio Bernal), the USDA in Florida (Lab of Dr. John Sivinski), the INRA at Sophia Antipolis in France (Lab of Dr. Nicolas Desneux), and was invited to perform an academic visit to the Tianjin Institute of Plant Protection, in the City of Tianjin, China. In 2019-2020 I performed a sabbatical stay with Dr. Jorge Contreras Garduño at ENES-UNAM, Morelia, Mexico. Since 2005, I have coauthored 40 papers for international journals (ISI®) (cited in more than 850 international articles [ISI®], excluding self-citations, h-index=18 [according to ISI® WoS]), five popular articles (with more than 14,000 views on the site of Academia.edu) and two book chapters. I taught at the UDLA-P (undergraduate level), and currently, I lecture at the UdG (undergraduate and graduate level). I have participated in the supervision of undergraduate and graduate students. Other of my scientific activities include Executive Editor for Pest Management Science (IF: 4.463, Q1, JCR®2021) and Associate Editor for Entomologia Generalis (IF: 6.608, Q1, JCR®2021) and Biological Control (IF: 3.857, Q1, JCR®2020). Reviewer for 24 international journals (ISI®), for the Mexican Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT, Mexico), and the AgreenSkills and AgreenSkills + program (France). I have also been part of the advisory board of the 'basic science' funding program of CONACyT. Besides the ecology of insects, I enjoy reading novels, philosophy, and history.
