Academic interests
My research focuses on using environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques to study zoology in freshwater and marine environments. I'm particularly interested in improving these methods to better understand biodiversity in these environments and to contribute with practical insights to biodiversity conservation and sustainable management practices within the field of zoology.
Background
