I am passionate about biodiversity, marine ecology and conservation. My main area of focus is identifying and studying the ecology of marine invertebrates in the intertidal zone. My work involves understanding how the landscape, habitat and geographical attributes affect the decapod assemblages in Posidonia oceanica meadows.

I am generally interested in how the ocean can help us cope with the environmental crisis we are facing. I believe ecosystem-based solutions are essential to tackle the many consequences of climate change and biodiversity loss, and I therefore wish to contribute to their implementation through my research. More specifically, I am interested in marine macrophytes and how the ecosystems they form can ameliorate environmental stress conditions, with beneficial effects for ocean health and societies. Throughout my master research project, I investigated the potential of Mediterranean seagrass ecosystems as chemical refugia against ocean acidification. This work was focused on in situ pH and dissolved oxygen data collected by multiparametric sensors to understand coastal biogeochemical dynamics and how these can locally be influenced by seagrass ecosystem metabolism.
