I like to call myself an experimental phytoplankton ecologist; most of my work has been focused on phytoplankton ecology in coastal ecosystems, particularly the effects of anthropogenic stressors and climate change-related variables, and the use of phytoplankton as an ecological indicator in estuarine and coastal ecosystems. Presently, I am mostly dedicated to the study of harmful algal blooms and eutrophication in coastal ecosystems, not only the ecological part, but also the human dimensions.

Currently, I hold an assistant research scientist position at CIMA-UAlg. I have also been teaching Marine Microbiology, Microbial Ecology, and Advanced Methods in Biological Oceanography, to B.Sc. and M.Sc. students, and I am supervising several M.Sc. and Ph.D. students.
