Edward H. Cabezas Garcia received a PhD degree in Animal Nutrition and Management from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in 2017. After completing his PhD, he has held two post-doc positions at the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) in the United Kingdom and later undertook a post as a Research Associate at Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) in Peru. From August 2022 to February 2024, Edward joined Cornell University as a Postdoctoral Associate contributing with his expertise to the development of the Animal module within the 'RuFaS' dairy cattle production model. Edward's ongoing research at ILRI (August 2024 to present) focuses on evaluating the effects of tannins from tropical legumes on performance and enteric CH4 emissions in ruminants as well as in the calculation of Ym coefficients (GHG inventories) in East Africa conditions. Edward's primary research area is ruminant nutrition with special emphasis on feed efficiency, diet formulation, energy and protein utilization, and enteric methane emissions.
