Dr. Iván Córdova Guerrero

Brief academic description

I am an industrial chemist from the Autonomous University of Baja California and a Doctor in Chemical Sciences from the University Institute of Bio-Organics “AG” in Tenerife, Spain. I am currently a research professor at the UABC, where I collaborate in the training of bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students in areas related to agrochemistry, natural products and agricultural sustainability.

I develop applied research projects to improve the resilience of crops and native species under conditions of abiotic stress. I have experience in chemical formulation of agricultural inputs, plant nutritional analysis and design of methodologies to evaluate natural products. I have participated in studies focused on sustainable viticulture, restoration of native flora in Baja California and synthesis of bioactive compounds derived from residual biomass.

I coordinate the Phytoagrochemical Research Laboratory, where we work on the identification of compounds with agricultural activity, the development of biostimulants, fertilizers and natural repellents, and the link with the agro-industrial sector. My academic activity is supported by scientific publications, book chapters and participation in national and international congresses. I have collaborated as a visiting professor at the University of California in San Diego, and as an advisor on agricultural innovation in the productive sector. I am a member of the National System of Researchers and I have a desirable PRODEP profile.

My work combines science, innovation and environmental commitment to generate practical and sustainable solutions. I am passionate about collaborating with students, colleagues and institutions that seek to transform agriculture and conserve biodiversity.
