I am currently doing my PhD on the fin whale ecology and risk of collision in the Catalan coast, NW Mediterranean. This study is giving new insight on fin whale's behavior, distribution and site fidelity as well as giving advances into reducing ship strike issues by developing new technologies and protocols. I am also involved in a sperm whale research performed in the Azores, mid-Atlantic, where we are studying their behavior, social connection within the group and between other groups present in the area as well as the impact of the whale watching on this population.
