My research interests are the ecology and community dynamics of mesophotic reefs and the deep sea (bathyal zone). I am currently focusing on the ecology, phylogeny and population dynamics of corals in the order Antipatharia (black corals). I love the feeling of exploration and I am also very interested on innovative techniques/technologies for assessing marine ecosystems.
