**** – Phd. in Engineering. National University of Rosario (UNR). Phd ́s Thesis: Design and evaluation of pneumatic sowing systems. The objective is to propose a methodology for the design and evaluation of pneumatic seed systems, motivated by the lack of uniformity in the distribution of seeds between lines. Theoretical and experimental work on seed behaviour in the metering, distribution and transport systems in seeders. The system of seed transport and distribution of air drill seeders is analyzed by means of numerical simulations of the air flow, and after the air-seed mixture. The percentage of seeds per pipeline are validated through laboratory tests, in a test bench specifically constructed for the evaluation of seed distributor heads. New improved head designs are proposed, which are evaluated through numerical simulations. 2004 Mechanical Engineer. National University of Rosario (UNR). EMPLOYMENT
