I am a biologist with a master's degree in marine zoology and a PhD in marine ecology. My research primarily focuses on ecological modeling, particularly spatially explicit trophic models, with a strong emphasis on Ecospace. I have applied these approaches to various ecosystems, ranging from the tropics to the Arctic. A key aspect of my work involves assessing the impacts of multiple stressors—such as global change and fisheries strategies—on ecosystems, both in historical and future contexts.
