ABOUT ME

I am a PhD student at Virginia Tech studying innovative methods for monitoring the marine environment. I develop electronic monitoring systems, and build autonomous drones for collecting information with supervised learning. I create data-generation pipelines from social networks and construct interactive websites and web apps. And I am a biochemist and geneticist currently interested in characterizing elasmobranch biodiversity in the Mediterranean Sea with environmental DNA. 

Since 2019, I have specialized in these areas of study to remotely monitor shark populations with non-lethal, non-invasive, and cost-efficient methods. 

My previous research dealt with mapping the genome of the Aedes albopictus mosquito-- vector of the chikungunya virus and dengue fever. I specialized in molecular techniques such as Flourescent in situ ​Hybridization.
