Activity summary

I am a marine and fisheries biologist with specializations in conservation (MSc) and marine ecology (PhD). I am dedicated to making valuable contributions to marine wildlife conservation and research, with the goal of achieving significant milestones in these fields. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how marine species at upper and mid-trophic levels respond to environmental stressors, such as pollution, global change, fisheries, and resource availability.
