معرفی
Alejandro Romero-Ruiz is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Hydrogeology and Geothermics (CHYN) within the Faculty of Science at the University of Neuchâtel. He actively contributes to the Horizon Europe FARMWISE project, assessing fertilization management impacts on European soil types and climates through process-based modelling.
He earned his PhD from the University of Lausanne, investigating wheeling-induced soil compaction effects on soil water dynamics and mechanical properties via geophysical monitoring and hydrological modelling. Subsequent postdoctoral roles at Rothamsted Research (UK) and Agroscope (Switzerland) focused on soil compaction impacts from grazing animals and agricultural vehicles.
Dr. Romero-Ruiz specializes in soil physics, agrogeophysics, agroecosystem modelling, and soil structure, driving sustainable agriculture through quantification of management impacts on soil health, development of predictive models, and creation of management-scale monitoring techniques. His methodology integrates geophysical monitoring, hydrological systems analysis, and nutrient cycling dynamics to decode soil functioning.
As a key member of the Hydrogeological Processes group at CHYN, he advances interdisciplinary research on soil-structure interactions within the FARMWISE framework to optimize European agricultural fertilization practices.
