Biography

I am an Associate Researcher at the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CADIC-CONICET) in Ushuaia, Argentina. I hold a Ph.D. in Science and Technology, with a research focus on the structure, dynamics, and stability of Antarctic marine food webs through mathematical modeling. My primary research investigates the effects of anthropogenic environmental changes on marine trophic interactions across the Southwestern Atlantic and Antarctic latitudinal gradients. As a Principal Investigator, I lead projects analyzing the trophic structure, functioning, and stability of communities in regions such as the Namuncurá - Burdwood Bank Marine Protected Area. My work integrates complex network theory and modeling to evaluate ecosystem robustness, biodiversity loss impacts, and the ecological roles of key species in extreme environments. I am highly committed to open science and reproducibility, actively maintaining public repositories of my datasets and programming codes for ecological network analysis. Alongside my research, I serve as an Associate Editor for scientific journals including Ecological Indicators and Food Webs, and I teach postgraduate courses on complex marine food webs.
