Biography

I am a marine scientist interested in study and better understand the functioning of ecosystems, their problems and threats, in order to protect and try to improve their survival. I am also interested in the development of strategies for the sustainable use of marine resources.

During my undergrad and master's, I focused my research on local fisheries. 
My Ph.D. research will focus on symbiont microalgae Symbiodinium sp. to assess how some stressors affect it in different host organisms
