I am a marine biologist specialized in marine taxonomy, with particular expertise in zoobenthos, phytobenthos, and phytoplankton. My research background also includes marine macroalgae and seagrasses, focusing on their metabolism, physiology, and ecology, often in relation to environmental contaminants. In addition, I have gained extensive fieldwork experience in cetacean monitoring and research, including studies on cetacean biology, bioacoustics, ethology, and monitoring methodologies.
