Reserch Interests
I was born and raised on the island of Ischia, in the Bay of Napoli (Italy). I have worked as a professor and researcher at Oregon State University since 2007. My main research interest is in fisheries oceanography, which is the study of how ocean physical, and biogeochemical processes affecting fish populations and communities. Much of my work focuses on fish eggs, larvae, and juvenile stages. In recent years, I have been involved in the development and implementation of transdisciplinary research and educational programs among students and researchers from different disciplinary and personal backgrounds. These efforts have led to my involvement in new research projects with natural, quantitative, and social scientists, and to new curriculum development on collaborative and interdisciplinary teamwork.
