My main research interests are:

• Development of appropriate approaches to uncover cetacean population boundaries                           
• Study of oceanographic features related to cetacean dispersal and population structure 
• Delineation of cetacean species’ management units for conservation
• Design of Marine Protected Areas combining population, demographic and spatial data 
• Characterization of key demographic processes influencing cetacean survival

My current collaborative research centers on:

• Franciscana dolphins conservation genetics  
• Humpback dolphins conservation genetics
• Humpback whales conservation genetics 
• Oceanographic influences to cetacean dispersal 
• Conservation genetics of Yellow anacondas in Argentina

Other areas of work:

• Conservation Biology Education
