Santiago received his B.Sc. in Biology at the Universidad de los Andes (Colombia). He pursued his Ph.D. at Harvard University (advisor Naomi Pierce) and conducted postdoctoral work at UC Berkeley (in the lab of Neil Tsutsui). Santiago is broadly interested in studying the adaptations, speciation processes, and ecological determinants that influence insect-plant associations. His work combines multiple approaches including ecological genomics, molecular phylogenetics, population genetics, chemical ecology, and good old-fashioned natural history.
