I am a research scientist with formal training in chemistry and marine sciences, specializing in marine biogeochemistry. I obtained my undergraduate degree as Licenciada en Química from the Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (Argentina). I completed my Ph.D. in Marine Sciences at the University of South Alabama (USA), where my doctoral research focused on the biogeochemical cycling of dimethylated sulfur compounds (DMS and DMSO) in the surface ocean, with particular emphasis on polar marine systems. Following my Ph.D., I pursued postdoctoral training in marine biogeochemistry at the University of Hawaii (USA), further strengthening my expertise in dissolved gas dynamics, primary production measurements, and the coupling between biological and chemical processes in the ocean. I am currently a Research Scientist at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET, Argentina), and I belong to the Biogeochemistry and Phytoplankton Group at the National Institute for Fisheries Research and Development (INIDEP). Within this framework, our research focuses on the biogeochemical functioning of marine ecosystems, with particular emphasis on phytoplankton dynamics, primary production, dissolved gases, and bio-optical and chemical indicators of ecosystem variability. Our group supports long-term monitoring, process-oriented research, and the integration of physical, chemical, and biological observations to assess environmental variability and climate-driven changes in the Argentine Sea.
