My name is Jimena Alejandra Ibagon Pardo. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at the National University of Colombia. In 2021, I enrolled in the master’s program in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, where my thesis, titled "The nutritional value of field peas from different origins and with different particle sizes fed to growing pigs," was successfully defended in April 2023. In August 2023, I begin my PhD program under the supervision of Dr. Hans Stein.
