[My scientific profile on ResearchGate]

During my PhD, I participated in several research cruises and scientific expeditions along 4/5 of the world’s oceans (Atlantic, Antarctic, Indian & Pacific). Spending a total of approximately 5 months at sea. Furthermore, I also performed research stays in top universities and institutions from several countries: Spain (UMU, ICMAN-CSIC, IMEDEA-CSIC, ICM-CSIC), Canada (Takuvik – Université Laval), United Kingdom (University of Aberdeen), Switzerland (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology – ETH Zurich), and the United States of America at SCRIPPS (University of California San Diego, thanks to a Fulbright fellowship).
