Guillermo A Baigorria

Guillermo has a background in Meteorology, a MS in Crop Production (both from Universidad Nacional Agraria-La Molina, Lima-Peru), and a Ph.D. degree in Soil Sciences and Land Evaluation (Wageningen University, The Netherlands).  He is an expert in climate, soils, crop modeling and its integration. He continued a 3-year post-doc at University of Florida, where he developed new methods on crop yield forecasting and crop modeling. He has been a faculty at three different universities (UNALM- his Alma Mater, University of Florida and University of Nebraska-Lincoln) and visiting faculty to many others.

He also worked as a researcher at the International Potato Center (Lima-Peru) and has been visiting scientist at NOAA and IRI. He had many projects in Africa and in the U.S.  His passion for science together with his ability for computer programming (he writes code since he was 14 years old) allowed him to integrate different disciplines and to automatize processes. Guillermo is author of several scientific papers, book chapters, and he has been reviewer for more than 20 international journals.

Now he’s focusing on the system integration and automation for developing applications to support stakeholders’ decision making in terms that users can understand, especially farm producers. He is currently the Director of Research and Development of Next Season Systems and AgexTec.
