¡Hola!
I am a data scientist and research assistant at the Harmful Algae and Plankton Ecology Group (VGOHAB) of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO-CSIC).
My research interests include the application of data science and statistical analyses in the fields of oceanography and marine environmental science.
As a data analyst and research assistant, I am responsible for gathering, storing, and exploring all data obtained by my group in our PostgreSQL database. This involves designing and maintaining efficient data collection methods, ensuring data integrity, and performing detailed analyses. Our main goal is to unravel population dynamics, identifying patterns and trends within the data, and attempting to relate these dynamics to changes in the environment. This comprehensive approach allows us to gain a deeper understanding of how various environmental factors influence population behaviors and shifts.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions.
About me
I am a biologist with a PhD in Environmental Engineering with a passion for data science and its applications to oceanography and environmental research.
Since 2015, after completing my Master’s in Marine Conservation, I’ve been fully immersed in the field of oceanography. During this period of study, my fascination with data and its analysis has substantially increased, prompting me to delve further into this realm of expertise. I enjoy using R and the tidyverse tools to optimize workflows and uncover insights from complex environmental data with my colleagues of the VGOHAB group.
Prior to joining the VGOHAB, during my master’s and doctoral studies, I conducted research on marine litter in coastal ecosystems. My work focused on the impacts of marine litter on coastal areas and how knowledge and awareness shape people’s response to and perception of the problem. I aimed to elucidate the dynamics between human activities and the marine environment, uncover ecological trends and foster a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between human actions and environmental health. My research analyzed the environmental impacts of marine debris and society’s involvement in its reduction and elimination. I uncovered the multifaceted impacts of marine debris and advocated for the implementation of sustainable practices and policies to mitigate its harmful effects. The goal was to inform more effective strategies for environmental conservation and management approaches.
