ResearchBackgroundI am a geneticist and a wildlife lover. I started my academic career looking for environmental responses to climate change in coral reefs. I also worked on applied conservation projects to investigate the trade of endangered species, especially sharks and rays, through molecular analysis, HTS technologies, and bioinformatics pipelines. With this background, I developed an interest in understanding how biodiversity responds to anthropogenic pressures (e.g. climate change, overexploitation, pollution) and how we can mitigate these impacts. Nowadays, I am studying the evolution and adaptive potential of seasonal camouflage (winter white to summer brown) in weasels.

Science Outreach
I believe in a science more communicative and reaching outside the universities and institutions walls. During my career, I have participated of science outreach events and led my own science outreach projects on social medias. I also share my research on Instagram and Bluesky.
