Paz Gambaro is originally from Argentina, where she grew up on her family’s agricultural and livestock operation. Her early experience in agriculture sparked her interest in animal production and in developing more efficient and sustainable livestock systems.

She earned her degree in Agricultural Engineering from Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA) in Buenos Aires. For her final project, under the guidance of Dr. Darío Colombatto, she evaluated differences in feedlot performance among different providers. This experience introduced her to working with large datasets and using data-driven approaches to better understand livestock production systems.

Following her undergraduate degree, Gambaro joined the University of Florida as a research intern with Dr. Nicolás Di Lorenzo. Through this experience, she developed a strong interest in the connections among cattle nutrition, animal performance, sustainability, and greenhouse gas emissions, with a particular focus on enteric methane.

Gambaro is currently pursuing her master’s degree at the University of Florida while collaborating with Colorado State University on research related to sustainable beef production. Her current research evaluates the effects of steam-flaked corn and dietary fat on enteric methane emissions and animal performance in finishing cattle.

Her research interests include sustainable beef production, animal nutrition, enteric methane emissions, and the use of data-driven approaches to improve the efficiency and environmental sustainability of livestock systems.
