I'm a phycologist. I work with any kind of algae, from the small unicellular until the large kelps. 

I'm interested in taxonomy, systematic and phylogeny of macroalgae. I also like phycopathology: which is diseases in macroalgae, and all kind of interactions between algae and pathogens, parasites, endophytes and epiphytes. I'm good isolating strains, isolating male and female kelp gametophytes, and also with other microscopy techniques. I have cultivated micro and macroalgae at different scala, from cold adapted species until thermal spring strains. Other interests are: breeding, cell biology, kelp, algal physiology, metal toxicity, biological activity, biological invasions, and plankton.
