I am a PhD candidate at CCMAR since 2022, focusing on seagrass restoration and conservation using nature-based solutions. My research aims to deepen our understanding of healthy microbiome communities and involves the isolation and identification of growth-promoting bacteria. These beneficial microbes are applied as probiotics to support the restoration of seagrass seeds and shoots. My main study topics and interests are in Marine Biology, Ecology & Biodiversity Conservation, Microbiology, Evolution and Nature-based Solutions to mitigate Climate Change.
