Subject Area
Research Support Services
Activities
Design and implementation of communication systems supporting environmental, ocean and public health initiatives, with a strong focus on citizen science and data accessibility.
Activities include:
- Co-design and development of citizen science initiatives, engaging communities, researchers and institutions in data collection and interpretation
- Translation of complex environmental and ocean data (e.g. marine heatwaves, biodiversity trends) into clear, usable and actionable formats
- Development of visual tools (infographics, dashboards, visual pathways) to support decision-making across scientific, policy and local contexts
- Structuring and redesigning technical content (reports, frameworks, datasets) to improve usability and reduce interpretation gaps
- Bridging scientific research and community engagement through storytelling, digital platforms and participatory tools
- Supporting communication and dissemination strategies for environmental monitoring and ocean-climate projects
Example:
Co-founder of MedSeaPOD, a citizen science initiative combining high-resolution marine data collection with community engagement, contributing to the creation of one of the first detailed marine heat maps in the Mediterranean ultra-coastal environment.
Focus:
Enabling the use of environmental data by making it understandable, accessible and relevant for both decision-makers and communities.

Comment(s)
Experience sits at the intersection of science communication, citizen science and environmental governance.
Work focuses on connecting data, people and decision-making processes — ensuring that scientific knowledge is not only produced, but also understood, shared and applied.
Particular interest in ocean-climate systems, community-based monitoring and the role of citizen science in closing data gaps and supporting local and global environmental action.
