Research Interests
My main research interest is in the autoecology of marine benthic calcifiers – especially in the face of global change. In the framework of my PhD, I am investigating the physiology of Tridacnidae (Giant clams) in the Red Sea under several stressors as well as their overall function within reefs.
In previous studies during my Undergraduate and Masters studies, I worked on cold-water coral species of the Baltic Sea and Chilean Fjord region, assessing the effect of alternating pH and water temperatures on their physiological performance.
