Andres Alberto Salazar Fillippo, M.Sc., Ph.D.

Institute for Environmental Studies
Postdoctoral researcher co-leading the Soil Biodiversity Group ('SoilScope') at Charles University. We are actively contributing to the SOB4ES project, and my role is to identify soil microarthropods, analyse data, and lead writing activities (reports/papers).
I'm particularly interested on soil biology, restoration ecology, and science-policy translation. More specifically, I focus in bioindication, functional traits, belowground interactions, and post-disturbance chronosequences. In parallel, I'm leading a few initiatives to report and describe new species of oribatid mites in Colombia.
