Biology
I am a marine biologist, investigating biological invasions occurring in the Mediterranean Sea. I have a broad range of interests and expertise in marine biology, ecology, taxonomy, and conservation. My professional experience includes scientific research, tertiary-level teaching, scientific collections, project management, scientific consultations, and awareness raising activities. I regularly serve as a regional expert for international organizations. I have completed both my undergraduate and graduate studies in marine sciences in France and earned my MSc from the French National Museum of Natural History and my doctorate from the University of the Mediterranean Aix-Marseille II. I have been affiliated to AUB since 2003.
