I am a marine biologist, for what might be the simplest reason: passion for the ocean and the biological wonders it hosts. My research focuses on how marine animals cope with their changing environment, whether influenced by natural cycles, anthropogenic activities, or a combination of both. In particular, I use both molecular tools and behavioral analysis to understand how the physiology of marine animals changes over time, as the oceans are complex, oscillating environments.
Currently, I am exploring these questions in one of our greatest ecological frontiers, the deep sea.
