Personal profile
Biography
Graduated in Biological Sciences (2014) with a master's degree in Biological Oceanography (2016) and international diving certificated (PADI).
Research interests
My previous research has focused on the movement patterns and ecology of coastal and oceanic sharks. I am also interested on better understanding the biological, environmental and anthropogenic factors involved on shark-human interactions for mitigation purposes. Although my current research still aims on spatial ecology, it will also include trophic ecology and genetics.
