Activities
I am oceanographer with Ph.D. in Coastal Oceanography. My work involves oceanographic cruises, deployment of sampling equipment, operation of instruments for data collection and analysis, and the study of coastal and oceanic ecosystems through bio-optical measurements and satellite remote sensing. I focus on ocean color algorithms, phytoplankton analysis, pigments, and the preparation of technical and scientific reports. I teach undergraduate courses and take part in field-based training and multidisciplinary research projects. I am also actively involve in science communication and outreach activities focused on marine ecosystems.
Sea regions of study
Gulf of California
North Pacific Ocean
