Activities
I am a marine ecologist investigating the resilience and stability of marine ecological networks under climate change and anthropogenic pressures. My work integrates field experiments and network analysis to explore how topology and disturbance shape ecosystem dynamics. Using macroalgal forests and Posidonia oceanica meadows as model systems, I investigate disturbance propagation, ecological stability and thresholds.
Sea regions of study
Mediterranean Sea - Western Basin
Ligurian Sea
Tyrrhenian Sea
Skills
Field Work: Experienced in visual sampling of macroalgae, seagrasses, and macroinvertebrates in intertidal and subtidal habitats, and fish communities. Proficient in conducting manipulative experiments on benthic macroalgal assemblages and seagrass meadows. 

Laboratory Analysis: Skilled in lepidocronological analysis of Posidonia oceanica shoots for dating and estimating their production.

Data Analysis: Proficient in R programming for statistical analysis, data visualization ecological modeling, including network analysis/simulation.


Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Competent in using QGIS for spatial analysis and ecological mapping.
