My research focuses on marine biodiversity, taxonomy and biogeography of sessile invertebrates and ecology of hard substrate communities, with emphasis on dark habitats and sciaphilic assemblages (e.g. marine caves, coralligenous reefs and deep-sea habitats). My scientific field includes research on non-indigenous species, symbiotic relationships, underwater sampling, visual census techniques and scientific diving. I have studied aspects of marine conservation and restoration and have been also involved in the development of marine biodiversity databases and citizen science projects.
