My broad research focuses on understanding how animals interact with the environment (past, present and future).
I mainly use marine organisms as study systems to address fundamental questions in ecology and evolutionary biology and I also address applied issues related to fisheries management, aquaculture and conservation.

RESEARCH THEMES
Fisheries research
I use a range of approaches to tackle issues in fisheries management, including genetic and genomic tools, citizen science, machine learning and computer vision.

Species adaptation and population connectivity
I am interested in understanding how the environment affects species and population dynamics. I use approaches such as genomics, environmental association analysis and quantitative genetics. I also collaborate with other scientists to incorporate approaches from different disciplines such as hydrodynamic modelling.
"At times I would be encouraged by a little unhoped-for success, at others I would be in the deepest despair because of accidents and failures resulting from my inexperience.

You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful."
