I am a Marine biologist with background in molecular biology and oceanography. I started my career working with oxidizing sulfur bacteria in anoxic marine sediments of coastal areas in magallanes, the southernmost region of Chile. Then one year later in 2022 I started working as Lab Technician for a group of researchers dedicated to oceanography and marine microbiology in a national research cente

I'm a Chilean marine biologist interested in the biology, ecology and biogeochemical process in benthic marine ecosystems. However, I love honey bees and other pollinators as well, and I'm involved in some projects aimed to understand the impacts of climate change on beekeeping and also developing technological solutions to deal with its impact.

I received my Marine Biologist title under the instruction of Dr. Tarsicio Antezana from Universidad de Concepción, Chile (1992) and performed my PhD Thesis in Cell and Molecular Biology under the supervision of Dr. Nibaldo Inestrosa at the P. Universidad Católica de Chile (2001). I was awarded a PEW-Latin American Fellowship to receive Post-Doctoral training in Molecular Biology and Genetics unde

Estudiante de doctorado en biotecnología, con expertise en plantas.

My major interests are shelf and bathyal benthos. Ecology of benthic invertebrates with emphasis on mollusks, crustaceans, and polychaetes. Ecology and biogeographic patterns of benthic fauna associated to seamounts and oceanic islands. Energy flow through the benthos. Methane seep chemosynthetic communities. Animal-sediment relationships. Trophic relationships through stable isotope analysis. Tax
