a marine biologist specialist in elasmobranch functional anatomy, especially in sensory systems. I hold a Ph.D. in Biology, with especialization in Zoology, a M.S. in Diversity and Evolution, and a B.S. in Marine Sciences. Currently, I am a postdoc fellow at the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology of Harvard University, working in George Lauder's lab.
My research interests are based on understanding how elasmobranchs have adapted to different habitats, especially those that exhibit exceptional structures and functions.
​
My research experience is focused on characterizing the biological functions (e.g. sensorial, mechanical, locomotor) using a combination of high-tech techniques including 3D bioimaging, biomaterials characterization, and biomechanics. For more info check my CV
