I am currently hired as a research assistant in the European project Marine Sabres and I am also a member of CIBIO-Açores.
My research interests are broad and include the community ecology of intertidal rocky shores, the population and community level effects of harvesting, the importance of biodiversity for ecosystem processes, the impact of man-made structures on coastal ecosystems and the effects of climate change on species interactions
My work is mostly field-based and often in the rocky intertidal where I use observational and experimental approaches to test ecological hypotheses.
