Magalí Bazzano joined the Yale Center for Geospatial Solutions in 2023. As a project manager, Magalí provides support for initiatives that are established and managed by the Office of the Vice Provost for Research.
Before joining Yale University, Magalí gained valuable experience as a scientist and manager at a fast-paced biotech startup, where her passion for project management was first ignited. She also served as a research assistant at both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. In addition, she taught Biology and Ecology as an adjunct lecturer at the University of New Haven.
Magalí graduated with an MS and BS in Environmental Science from the University of New Haven and earned a second BS in English/Spanish translation from the Profesorado Superior de Lenguas Vivas in Salta, Argentina. Her master’s research was focused on measuring dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) present in Spartina alterniflora in the vicinity of salt marsh dieback areas in Branford, Connecticut. The study evaluated DMSP as a potential indicator of stress in S. alterniflora before signs of stress were visible. As part of her research, she used ArcGIS to create Kriging prediction maps of DMSP concentrations at the study sites. During this time, she earned a Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems from the University of New Haven.
