My research focuses on marine biodiversity and benthic ecology, with special emphasis on benthic invertebrates, dark habitats (marine caves and deep-sea habitats), and non-indigenous species. I have been also involved in the development of biodiversity databases, citizen science initiatives and methods for underwater biological research with SCUBA diving.
