ABOUT ME

Welcome to my research space!

My work centers on understanding how human activities impact the delicate balance of ecosystems. I am particularly interested in anthropogenic noise pollution and its effects on aquatic environments. Sound travels faster and farther in water, making noise pollution a pervasive yet often overlooked stressor for many species.

My research explores how noise affects both behavior, such as feeding and social interactions, and physiological stress responses in freshwater and marine fish. I work across multiple disciplines, combining elements of bioacoustics, behavioral ecology, and physiology, to build a more integrative understanding of how aquatic species respond to human-induced disturbances. By drawing on insights from different systems and approaches, I aim to contribute to more holistic strategies for conservation and sustainable ecosystem management.

While my core focus is on underwater ecosystems, I also collaborate on interdisciplinary projects in terrestrial environments that connect soundscapes and human perception. These studies bring together ecoacoustics and sociology to explore how people experience and interpret sound in their everyday landscapes.

Through this work, I hope to contribute to a better understanding of how to mitigate human impacts on ecosystems, both aquatic and terrestrial, while highlighting the value of scientific research in addressing global environmental challenges.
