Short cv:

I am a PhD student in Marine Ecology, my Master´s is in the Earth Science with an orientation in Environmental Geosciences, and my bachelor’s degree is in environmental engineering. I have also worked as scientific technician, I worked measuring the concentrations of the particulate organic matter and carbonates in the water column and sediments, as well as stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen. I was working with a team operating a mass spectrometer area and writing reports. Furthermore, I participated in two cruises, my duties were sampling water for measurements of oxygen concentration in water column, taking water samples for measurements of the isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon, measurements of reduction potential and pH in sediments, and filtering water samples for particulate organic matter characterization and chlorophyll concentration analyses. My main aspiration is become a well-rounded and experienced researcher in biogeochemistry cycles in the ocean.
