Research interests
In recent years, Marine biodiversity has been facing challenging stressors such as climate change, anthropic impact and invasive alien species.
My main research interest is aimed at the conservation of biodiversity, through an in-depth knowledge of it both in benthic and pelagic environments. My training in natural sciences has provided me with a wide overview of natural environments, including the abiotic component, which I have applied to the Master's degree program in Marine Biology. In addition to my academic training, I am trained and I have gained great experience as a diving instructor and technical diver which allows me to carry out sampling and survey dives from the surface up to 50 meters deep also with the support of Diver Propulsion Vehicle.
