Jorge is a PhD student at the Marine Ecology Group of Macquarie University as well as the Australian Museum Research Institute. Before coming to Australia to undertake his PhD, Jorge completed a bachelor degree in Biology at the University of Alcala de Henares and a Masters’ degree in Biodiversity at the Autonomous University of Madrid. Jorge’s research focuses on the study of marine flatworms of the Order Polycladida. Polyclad flatworms are a group of free-living invertebrates found in a diversity of marine habitats with over 800 species described worldwide. While cryptic in habit, polyclads have the potential to substantially impact on their communities as they predate on a range of invertebrates such as crustaceans, corals and molluscs, including some commercially-valuable species, such as oysters and mussels.
