I am a marine ecologist with a marked multidisciplinary profile. My research focuses on phytoplankton ecology and evolution. I have investigated the environmental factors and biological interactions that drive the dynamics of phytoplankton populations. I am particularly interested in the effects of nutrients on phytoplankton at the molecular, cellular, and community level. I investigate the strategies that enable phytoplankton to cope with nutrient scarcity and changes in nutrient availability, as it is the case of acclimation responses. I am currently investigating how nutrients have shaped genome architecture and evolution through an interdisciplinary approach that aims at integrating nutrient ecology and evolutionary genomics.
