My research is focused on understanding the behavioural mechanisms and the ecology of marine predator movements. Particularly I am interested in the biology, ecology and behaviour of pelagic sharks under fishing pressure, mainly shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) and blue shark (Prionace glauca). My PhD dissertation was focused about the life history, spatial ecology and conservation of the shortfin mako. In combination with my academic activity, I regularly get involved in scientific surveys and other research projects as field work biologist, professional diver and wildlife expert.
