I. Education and Experience

Haydee Montoya T. received in 1974 her B.S. in Biological Sciences and her Ph.D. in 2004 from San Marcos National University in 1974. She obtained her M.S. degree in Botany at The University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas, US. in 1982.  I have been training in algal culture at the Woods Hole Institute, Massachussets and  Kiel Univeristy, Germany. I have been involved in the monitoring programme of the Microalgal biodiversity in Perú,

Pacific  Coastal wetland microalgae research   mainly the ecology (occurrence and periodicity in brackish   and saline lagoons) and taxonomy of the  cyanobacteria and phytoflagellate groups. Interest is related to understand relationship between  natural microalgae populations, physico chemical parameters of the algal communities colonization as well as  isolation and culture  of main dominant species to establish their life cycle.

III. Candidate Statement

I have been conducted research on the shallow coastal  and Altoandean saline lagoons and I am aware about the necessity to know  and understand the biota  function (mainly related to their production) of these peculiar aquatic ecosystems. Hope to use my experience  to contribute to get the ISSLR goals.
