About Me

I am an Adjunct Professor at the California State University Northridge, studying  coral ecology in temperate and tropical oceans. My research is aimed at contributing to marine conservation and sustainable management of living resoures. I am also a scientific diving instructor and marine policy consultant, and have served as diving safety officer and documentary filmmaking assistant.

I grew up in Germany and Greece, and my studies have brought me to the Isle of Man (UK), Hawaii, Costa Brava (Spain), and California.
