Activity summary

Currently researching on ecotoxicology of emerging contaminants (nanoparticles, microplastics, pharmaceutical residues, pesticides, etc.) and climate change effects, focusing on autotrophic marine organisms (macro and micro algae, halophytes and seagrasses). In his research uses not only classic techniques of biochemistry but also high-performance bio-optical techniques coupled to artificial intelligence systems and more recently to metabolomic and metagenomic analyzes.
