Dr. Claudia Andrade is a Research Associate Professor at the University of Magallanes, Chile. She got her Ph.D./Dr. Rer. Nat. degree at the University of Bremen, Germany. Her research interest is focused on studying the trophic structures and energy flows in marine benthic communities by using multiple approaches to understand how the Subpolar and Polar ecosystem functions in a more integrative way. Currently, Dr. Andrade is studying niche partitioning using isotopic techniques to elucidate diet preference and habitat use for important organisms with commercial/ecological value and their interactions with the community.
