Ambrosio Rubén Bottini is an Argentine agronomist who also earned a PhD in biological sciences. Bottini is widely recognized in the field of agricultural sciences and is connected with various academic and scientific institutions.
The Argentine engineer has numerous scientific publications to his name, especially those focused on crops—both extensive and intensive—and their relationship with various biotic and abiotic factors.
He has also conducted research on other topics, such as wine quality, particularly high-altitude wine, and its connection to drought.
Bottini’s career and research have earned him recognition as an emeritus researcher by the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET).
Bottini and his connection with science
Throughout his professional career, Bottini has worked as both a researcher and professor. His most notable affiliations are with various universities, the National Scientific and Technical Research Council, and the National Academy of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine.
On one hand, the Argentine engineer was a professor at the National University of Río Cuarto and currently teaches at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo, located in Mendoza Province.
Within CONICET—an organization focused on scientific and technological research in Argentina—Bottini works in the agricultural sciences area, conducting studies especially centered on phytohormones and wine characterization.
Phytohormones can be defined as molecules produced by plant cells that act on other cells, regulating plant growth patterns.
In addition, Bottini is a member of the National Academy of Agronomy and Veterinary Medicine (ANAV), a scientific association whose goals include the publication of scientific articles.
The Argentine engineer is also known for being one of the founders of the Agricultural Biology Institute of Mendoza, which operates under the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the National University of Cuyo and CONICET.
This institute generates applicable knowledge for irrigated agriculture to reduce the risks it faces. The research conducted within this framework aims to promote agricultural biology and bring the developed knowledge closer to society.
Bottini and Juan Agustín Maza University
In addition to his connections with other institutions, Bottini has strong ties with Juan Agustín Maza University. At this university, he serves as the director of the Argentine Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Environment, and Health (IAVAS) and is part of the Science and Technology Area.
IAVAS aims to develop information and research related to the conservation of natural resources, as well as animal and human health.
Furthermore, Bottini is part of the university’s Science and Technology Area, which seeks to connect education with research and provide a space where various scientific projects can be carried out.
Thanks to his academic and scientific contributions, Bottini received the distinction of emeritus researcher, granted by CONICET.
His contributions to science earned him this recognition.
Bottini’s contributions
Although the Argentine engineer works as a professor and has supervised several theses, research has remained a central part of his career.
Throughout his scientific trajectory, Bottini has participated in various events and scientific conferences, especially those related to plant physiology, viticulture, and enology.
Some of the topics he has addressed in his publications include wine composition, food chemistry, adaptive strategies, wine quality, and crop production.
Within Argentina, Bottini is a prominent figure in the field of agricultural sciences, both for his research and his participation in the scientific community.
Regarding wine quality improvement and the profiling of wines from different regions of Mendoza Province, Bottini is among the leading researchers developing studies on these subjects.
In both agricultural and veterinary sciences, the Argentine engineer stands out for his scientific research, contributions, and involvement in academic and scientific events.
After receiving the title of emeritus researcher from the National Scientific and Technical Research Council—the highest distinction awarded—Bottini is recognized as one of the most outstanding researchers in the scientific field.
