Innovation
My research focuses on evaluating the responses of marine organisms to climate change, with special emphasis on marine fishes. We aim to understand the physiological, molecular and behavioral responses of tropical and temperate species, to ocean warming, changes in salinity and habitat complexity.
Engagement
I have extensive experience collaborating with media outlets and have successfully shared work in both English and Spanish across numerous organizations. Previous dissemination efforts include presentations and interviews at natural historymuseums, schools, TV and radio stations, social media platforms, magazines and newspapers. At Auburn, outreach activities include Science Cafe, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, Science Matters and the Auburn Science and Engineering Fair.
