Emanuel is a postdoctoral researcher at the Instituto de Biodiversidad y Biología Experimental y Aplicada (IBBEA, UBA-CONICET) and Departamento de Biodiversidad y Biología Experimental (DBBE, Exactas-UBA), Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is interested in the taxonomy, systematics and biogeography of deep-sea crustaceans, with a focus on the order Isopoda from off Argentina. His research has greatly increased the knowledge of the biodiversity of deep-sea isopods from the Argentine Continental Slope, in particular from the Mar del Plata Submarine Canyon. He also has extensive experience working with material from museum collections, mainly that collected in the Southern Ocean. Currently, Dr. Pereira is working on the integrative taxonomy of deep-sea antarcturid isopods from off Argentina, including population genetic dynamics to understand the deep-sea connectivity along the northern and southern Argentine Continental Slope.
