My research project is ecotoxicology of offshore wind energy; in other words, I am studying the effects that chemicals used in offshore wind farms can have on the marine environment. It is tightly related to sustainability, as we are trying to make a kind of renewable energy, even more sustainable, making sure that it does not pose any risks to the environment. This is why I would like to introduce the students to some terms like: energy crisis, renewable energy, offshore wind energy, toxicology and why and how we use animals as models in the laboratory.
I became a PhD Student because, for me, the university is the only place where research and teaching are closely connected. Here is where the technology, progress and knowledge come together, and I am happy to be a part of it.
