I am a biological oceanographer with expertise on plankton ecology.

Currently, I am a Science Officer for the EU4OceanObs EU project, lead the G7 FSOI Coordination Centre at Mercator Ocean International (Toulouse, France) and support EU coordination actions in the G7 FSOI.

Having completed a PhD in Marine Ecology and Ecosystem Modelling (Bristol University, UK), an MSc in Environmental Biology of Terrestrial Management and Marine Biological Resources (University of Crete, Greece) and a BSc in Marine Sciences (Aegean University, Greece), I have acquired a sound and in-depth knowledge of marine ecosystems.

Plankton ecology under changing climate is my passion, and zooplankton is my area of expertise. Through my research, I discovered the power of combining field, lab and modelling studies to deliver a mechanistic understanding of the ecosystem drivers. My main scientific aim is to answer questions of ecosystem dynamics and carbon flow in a changing environment.
