Prospective Students:

I welcome students with a strong ethic and a profound respect for nature, self motivated, enthusiastic, hard working and who are attracted to address ecological problems with rigor and creativity. Students will be pressed to explore new ideas in the field of Ecology and/or Conservation in an independent but collaborative way. Much of our experimental work takes place in aquatic ecosystems (but not exclusively) and students interested in pursuing a Master, Ph.D. or a Postdoc should contact me, and include a CV and a description of main interests and objectives (I understand that you probably do not know exactly what you would like to do).
