Dr. Julián Daniel Mijailoff obtained his Forest Engineering degree after studies at the National University of La Plata (UNLP), Argentina, and the Nancy Centre of AgroParisTech-ENGREF, France. He completed his PhD at the National University of La Plata in 2025, supported by a doctoral scholarship from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET). His doctoral research focused on forest governance and socio-environmental policies, with particular emphasis on forest policy processes, bioeconomies, land-use conflicts, and land-use change dynamics in the Southern Cone of Latin America. As a Postdoctoral Researcher within the Modelling Human-Environmental Interactions (MHEI) Research Group at the Institute of Geographical Sciences, he investigates land system governance across transnational ecoregions. Combining comparative, interdisciplinary, and mixed-methods approaches, his research examines the role of formal institutions, their strength and weakness, informal institutions, and their interplays affecting land-use decisions such as forest management, conservation, or restoration in the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest Transnational Ecoregion. Through this work, he expects to advance debates within governance research and contribute with empirical analysis on land system science and environmental institutionalism.
