Deep-sea hydrothermal vent emitting mineral-rich black smoke surrounded by specialized marine organisms such as tube worms and crabs.

About me

I am a chemical oceanographer and ecotoxicologist focused on biogeochemical cycles, deep-sea ecosystems, and the environmental impacts of emerging pollutants and deep-sea mining. My work integrates field expeditions, experimental toxicology, and high-resolution chemical analyses to understand how anthropogenic stressors affect marine biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.
