The marine world and nature, in general, have always fascinated me. I am currently studying the relationship between climate change and marine organisms, predominantly focusing on regime shifts and plankton time series.

Plankton are important for healthy marine ecosystems and I feel are an important environmental indicator of global change.

During my next future, I would like to focus on: network analysis, food-web analysis, and  ecosystem evaluation in economic terms.

In addition to studying, I have practical scientific skills trough internships and volunteering in order to strengthen my skills to enhance my scientific career.
