Amazed by the underwater world since my very childhood, studying and working with aquatic animals has always been my dream. Driven by this, I first obtained a B.Sc. in Biology, followed by an M.Sc. in Marine Biology. While my passion and main research focus lies with cephalopods, I have also been involved in research projects studying fish, crustaceans and even hawkmoths in the past. In recent years, I have specialised in the behavioural and visual ecology of invertebrates.
From October 2020 on, I will join the Marine Behavioural Ecology Group of the University of Cambridge (UK) as a PhD candidate, investigating how cuttlefish and other cephalopods exploit and adapt to visual noise such as caustic flicker.
