Jose Rafael Guarin is a postdoctoral research scientist at the Center for Climate Systems Research at Columbia University and the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies. His research focuses on crop modeling, specifically on simulating the interactions between extreme weather events and abiotic stresses affecting crop development to improve agricultural decision-making. He is currently working on incorporating responses to ozone stress and diffuse radiation into the pDSSAT and LPJmL models to enhance global agricultural modeling. His expertise includes both the technical and scientific aspects of crop models and agrometeorological interactions. He has contributed to research projects aimed at improving sustainable wheat cultivation and global food security, collaborating with organizations like the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project, the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center, and the International Wheat Yield Partnership. He received his Doctorate in Philosophy in Agricultural and Biological Engineering from the University of Florida in 2018.
