Felipe Albornoz Ramirez

Felipe Albornoz Ramirez is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Biological Sciences, The University of Western Australia (UWA), and currently works at CSIRO Land and Water. His research focuses on microbial ecology, mycorrhizal fungi, and ecosystem restoration. He holds a PhD in Microbial Ecology from UWA (2012–2016) and a BSc in Biological Sciences from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile (2007–2011).

• Roles: Adjunct Research Fellow (UWA), Postdoctoral Fellow (CSIRO)

Research Interests: Explores how root symbionts like mycorrhizal fungi influence plant diversity and ecosystem development. Key topics include soil microbial communities, plant-fungal interactions, and the role of pathogens in coexistence. Recent work emphasizes ecosystem restoration using mycorrhizal fungi.

Publications (2023–2025) highlight studies on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi diversity, soil chronosequences, and eucalyptus dieback mechanisms. His projects include a grant on below-ground plant interactions in biodiversity hotspots, funded by the Ecological Society of Australia (2013–2014).

Collaborations span institutions like Oregon State University and Zenodo repositories for datasets on mycorrhizal symbiosis and soilborne pathogens.
