Autobiography

Currently working to support the implementation of new marine protected areas, with particular emphasis on the deep-seamounts. I've also participated in several European projects with a focus on deep-sea exploration, such as the projects ATLAS, MARSP and iAtlantic.

Research Interest

My research interests include the use of Geographic Information Systems for the geomorphological analysis of deep-sea and maritime spatial planning.
