He is currently a PostDoc at HKUST at Ocean Ecol Lab. Previously was a postdoc investigator at WHOI at Cohen Lab, working on the Super Reefs and Digital Reefs Projects.

Bio: After a B.Sc. in Marine Science – Oceanography in the Canary Islands, I moved to Australia, where I joined the amazing world of Coral Reefs. Following academic volunteering programs and after being a fieldwork team member for “Chasing Coral”, I committed myself to the world of Coral Reefs Research and Communication. Finishing a M.Sc. in Biodiversity and Environmental Management of Coral Reefs between France and French Polynesia. I completed a Ph.D. at EPHE-PSL at the CRIOBE focusing on the Mesophotic Coral Ecosystems of French Polynesia, again between French Polynesia and France. During my thesis entitled: Diving deep on the reef slopes in French Polynesia: new insights into mesophotic coral ecosystems. I was under the supervision of Laetitia Hédouin and Valeriano Parravicini. This thesis was possible thanks to the DEEPHOPE expedition and project with the Under The Pole team, for which I was an offshore scientist collecting data for my thesis and for others. The thesis was mostly carried out in French Polynesia.
