Rocío Alejandra Arriola Cepeda
Agriculture Engineer with innovation certificate and bachelor in agricultural science. I have
been related with the sustainable construction and urban landscaping. I did researches
related with the plants used in wall and green roof, analyzing their cooling potential
(stomatal resistance and number of stomata) and I supported others researches related
with the capacity of plants to capture pollution. Moreover, I continue involved in landscape
design, interior design with interiors plants and flower arrangements. This had led me
participate as presenter in university talks in my country and internationals congress (IBPC
2018, NYC)
