I graduated from the University of Mauritius after having completed an undergraduate degree in marine science in 2015. I am from an island nation (Mauritius/Rodrigues) where I have been living my whole life surrounded by the ocean and it only makes sense to me to pursue a scientific career that would help me protect and […]

I completed my BSc degree in Zoology at NUI Galway in 2020, followed by an MSc in Conservation Behaviour at ATU Galway City (formally GMIT) in 2021. During my studies, I spent time researching species such as red squirrel and Eurasian lynx. This helped develop my interests in topics such as habitat connectivity, species reintroductions […]

The complexity of interactions between livings beings has always fascinated me. At the age of eight I developed a very reliable mark-recapture method involving my glitter pink nail polish and the snails from my garden. Besides this relevant scientific experiment, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Organisms and Populations from the University of Western Brittany. […]

I have been involved in the analysis of seawater water samples, identification, collection, lab-scale cultivation and monitoring of marine and freshwater plants especially seaweeds for the Seaweed Biorefinery Project. My research widely involves flora assessment as part baseline study of environmental impact assessment of projects and environmental reporting of floristic studies. I usually conduct surveys […]

When I first began my academic career as a Forensic Science and Analysis Student in GMIT, I never quite imagined that I would end up working in a Marine-centered research position. Having been a student at GMIT since 2013, I cannot see myself happier anywhere else! As part of my undergrad, I took part in […]

I am passionate about wildlife conservation and environmental protection. I have a degree in Zoology from Trinity College Dublin and a Master of Research (MRes) in Conservation Biology, from the University of Nottingham. For my MRes, I carried out the first ever study of the rare, endemic Sinai Hairstreak Butterfly and my work led to […]
