My research centers on understanding the response of aquatic food webs to global climate crisis and other environmental perturbations (e.g., eutrophication, salinization, microplastics), using approaches ranging from mesocosm experiments to biodiversity monitoring to investigate trophic interactions, energy transfer, ecosystem functioning and health.

My research consists of the application of CRISPR technology in different organisms such as Oikopleura dioica and Blattella germanica to obtain the insertion of reporter genes into the genome that allow us to understand the gene networks involved in the development of different structures.

We are interested to understand the mechanisms underlying genomic evolution and adaptation, from individual genes and gene families in the arthropoda group using NGS data

With a deep-rooted passion for environmental science and a solid background in systematic conservation planning, my professional journey thus far has focused on the application of optimization algorithms to various contexts, aiming to enhance conservation efforts and inform decision-making. I am working on DRYvER project, prioritizing areas for drying river network conservation in the face of global change.

Study of the ecology and conservation of marine benthic communities under climate change scenario.
