Dorottya Mészáros is a marine biologist with a strong focus on cetaceans, having pursued both undergraduate and graduate studies in biology and marine biology. She earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary, in 2022, followed by a Master's degree in Marine Biology from the University of Algarve, Portugal, in 2024. From an early stage in her career, Dorottya has been dedicated to cetacean research, actively contributing to various research organizations specializing in marine mammal science. Her field research experience includes studying cetacean behavior, social structure, photo-identification, health assessments, and morphometric studies. Dorottya's primary research interests lie in cetacean morphology, including growth trends, proportional changes, sexual dimorphism, and their relationship with health assessments and feeding success. By examining these aspects, she aims to gain a deeper understanding of these animals and contribute to their conservation and preservation efforts. Currently, Dorottya works with the EDMAKTUB Cetacean Research Association and SOS Dolfijn, a cetacean rescue and rehabilitation center, furthering her knowledge and commitment to marine mammal conservation.
