Main research topic: ‘Connectivity of coral reef ecosystems to help marine biodiversity conservation and management of marine resources’. My research activities focus on population genetics and phylogeography of coral reefs organisms, with emphasis on connectivity of coral reef organisms and the impact of natural/anthropogenic disturbance on the genetic diversity and geographic structuring of marine populations.
