Currículum

Licenciada en Ciencia Naturales en la Universidad de Roma (Italia) y Doctora en Recursos Naturales y Medio Ambiente por la Universidad de Sevilla (España). Profesora asociada de la Facultad de Ciencias de la UST e Investigadora del Centro Bahía Lomas.

 

Su interés de investigación se relaciona con la ecología y biodiversidad de humedales y el cambio global (incluyendo especies invasiva, cambio climático y restauración ecológica). Actualmente es investigadora principal de un proyecto que examina la respuesta de invertebrados acuáticos y terrestres a perturbaciones naturales y antrópicas en humedales costero Mediterráneo (Chile y España), mediante el uso de la estructura de talla (Proyecto Fondecyt 11180668).
