Hello, and welcome :) 

I am a Brazilian marine ecologist interested in understanding how marine predators use habitats and resources, how sympatric species partition those resources, and what these ecological strategies reveal about their resilience in a rapidly changing ocean.To answer these questions, I integrate multiple complementary approaches, including stable isotope analysis (bulk and compound-specific), hormone biomarkers, animal tracking, stomach content analysis, behavioral observations, and environmental datasets such as sea-ice data.

My research spans a wide range of species—from dolphins in tropical Brazil to bowhead whales and seabirds in the Arctic, and harbor seals and sharks along the Pacific Northwest. Although these species inhabit remarkably different ecosystems, they all provide unique insights into the functioning, resilience, and conservation of marine ecosystems.

I am currently a Research Associate at the Marine Mammal Institute, Oregon State University, in Newport, Oregon, USA. If my research resonates with you, or if you have an idea for a collaboration, feel free to get in touch!
