Biography:
| I am currently working as Postdoctoral Research Associate on the FP7 project NEPHROPS. The
project aims at developing new techniques in hatchery, rearing, fishery
enhancement and aquaculture for Dublin Bay prawn (Nephrops norvegicus) stocks in Ireland as well as other European
countries. One of the main objectives is to identify suitable inshore sites for
potential future ranching activities, based on local hatcheries or possibly including
the on growing of individuals that would otherwise be discarded (‘green heads’
or undersized individuals). The project findings will
greatly contribute to inshore fisheries of Dublin Bay prawn in Ireland and will
support local fishermen. |
Research Interests
|
My research interest focus on the effects of fisheries and climate change upon marine ecosystems and sustainable resources management. In particular my research experience is centered on the analysis of these impacts on marine food chains using modelling techniques and habitat mapping to produce scientific support for policy exploration and biodiversity conservation. |
