Background & Qualifications

My name is Rodrigo Pedrero Pacheco

I was born in Chile. completed my bachelor’s degree in marine biology at the Universidad Austral de Chile. 

I have experience as a scientific observer on artisanal and industrial fleets mainly focused on pelagic species while I was working for the fisheries development institute (IFOP in Spanish) and had worked for several laboratories and museums through Chile focused on the studies of Chondrichthyes and general taxonomy from an evolutionary and ecological perspective.

I have interest on the studies of Chondrichthyes from a taxonomic perspective and the development of different approaches from an ecological and paleontological perspective.
