My PhD project focuses on life in the ocean at the scale of microorganisms. They represent the base of the marine food web and therefore it´s very important to study them, even if they are very small and invisible to human eye, but still very abundant.
We hope that our finding will help the understanding and the preservation of life below water which, ultimately, affect life on land and human life as we are part of the same big ecosystem.
After high school I took a degree in Chemical engineering. Through that I got familiar with the study of microorganisms and found an opportunity at DTU to work with microorganisms in the ocean, thanks to a European Marie Curie project. So I moved to Denmark and started my PhD here.
