Research Interests
I am broadly interested in the conservation and ecophysiology of marine mammals. My work is focused on how individuals respond to environmental changes. More specifically, I aim to assess the relationship between oceanographic parameters and the movement and trophic ecology of northern elephant seals, and southern right whales in collaboration with the Instituto de Conservación de Ballenas from Argentina.
