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 […]

I completed a BSc. in Biology at the Autonomous University of Madrid in 2017. My thesis was focused on ant behaviour ecology. In the same year, I joined the International Master of Science in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea) which took me to Oviedo, Ancona and, eventually, Galway (GMIT). For my master thesis, I studied the […]

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 […]

I am a PhD candidate at GMIT since 2016. As part of my research I am exploring population genetic structure of two seal species around Ireland and western Europe in order to delineate Management/Assessment Units and provide crucial baseline information for conservation and management of both species. Prior to the PhD project, I completed the […]
