Initial Stage Researcher · MARE - Centre for Marine and Environmental Sciences
Research Interests
- Experimental Biology - Marine Biology - Behaviour and Physiology - Marine Climate Change Ecology
Biography
I am a Marine Ecologist/Biologist with vast experience in both experimental biology and ecological modelling, primarily in the field of marine climate change and its effects and impacts across marine taxa (e.g., including invertebrates such as cephalopods and ascidians, fish and dolphins, microalgae, and intertidal saltmarsh species). Most of my scientific background (2016-2023) has been developed at the Laboratório Marítimo da Guia, which belongs to the Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (MARE-FCUL). I was a Senior Researcher at AIMM - Marine and Environment Research Association, mainly responsible with data analysis and ecological modelling focused on cetacean species between 2023 and 2024.I have been a Postdoc researcher in the ERC-funded PlAnt Project since October 2024.
