Introduction

I am a Biologist and marine ecologist interested in zooplankton dynamics from tropical areas. Currently I am a DAAD Ph.D. fellowship holder at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. I do research in planktology, marine biology, taxonomy, ecology of planktonic decapods, and size spectra analysis of zooplankton and particles provided by ZooScan device and Underwater Vision Profiler (UVP5 and 6), mostly in marines areas under influence of Amazon River.
