Activities
Oceanography undergraduate student at the University of São Paulo (USP), current research on ichthyoplankton assemblages in the Southeast Brazilian Continental Shelf (Alcatrazes Archipelago), focusing on taxonomic identification and ecological analysis of fish larvae, spatial distribution patterns, biodiversity dynamics and physical influences. Ecological analysis of the community composition and ecology using statistical models, correlating biodiversity patterns with environmental variables (e.g., wave exposure gradients, physicochemical water properties, water mass distribution).

I am interested in understanding how ocean dynamics and anthropogenic pollution impact the marine biodiversity, as well as developing strategies for marine conservation. My passion lies in species identification and habitat protection, driven by a curiosity about ocean processes and how human activities disrupt natural cycles, and how we can mitigate these effects.

Programming skills for data analysis and oceanographic data visualization in Python (Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib) and MATLAB, and Surfer for maps.
