Profile

Professor Jordan Kyril Golubov Figueroa is a Full-Time Professor at the Department of Man and his Environment of the Division of Biological and Health Sciences at the Xochimilco Campus of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM).

He is a Biologist who graduated from the Faculty of Sciences of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), with a doctorate in biology from the same faculty. He worked in the LEAD Mexico program under the tutelage of Dr. Fernando Tudela at the Colegio de México and later in CONABIO from 2000 to 2002 as part of the executive secretariat in the first technical reports of the exotic species Cactolastis cactorum and Bombus terrestris.

He has been on the faculty at UAM Xochimilco Campus since 2002. His research focuses on the ecology of invasive alien species populations, where he applies ecological approaches to propose population management plans. He collaborated in elaborating the National Strategy for the Management of Invasive Species, the Mexican Biodiversity Strategy, and the studies of the states of Hidalgo and Queretaro, emphasizing invasive species. He has collaborated for several years with the Regional Botanical Garden of Cadereyta in teaching and monitoring native and exotic populations.
