Post-doc HIMB

I am an ecologist, with a MSc in Marine Ecology Stockholm University, Sweden
(2012) and a PhD in Ecology from Universidade Federal do Rio de
Janeiro/Stockholm University (2019). I am currently doing a post doc on effects of
run-off and sedimentation on herbivorous fish and ecosystem functions at the
Hawaiian Institute of Marine Biology.

My research interests are reef fish ecology, ecologic connectivity, ontogenetic
migrations, fish herbivory and small-scale fisheries. I am also interested in trophic
ecology and how natural processes and disturbances impact trophic structure of reef
fish communities.
