My interests focus on corals and coral reefs, including both basic scientific research and applied aspects. Since the beginning of my studies, I have been drawn to ecology, and therefore my research experience has concentrated on various aspects of coral and coral reef biology and ecology. In parallel, I have participated in the planning, development, and implementation of environmental impact studies, environmental management plans, and marine protected areas. I have experience in designing and implementing short- and long-term monitoring protocols, as well as in data analysis and writing scientific and non-scientific reports and articles. I have a particular interest in projects related to environmental compensation and responsibility, as well as extensive experience in teaching and organizing and developing courses and workshops. In recent years, I have started proposing and leading ecological restoration projects focused on coastal marine ecosystems, with an emphasis on coral reefs.
