Alessia Ciraolo, PhD Candidate

Memorial University of Newfoundland, Department of Ocean Sciences

I graduated in Marine Biology in Italy where, for both my Bachelor and Master’s Degree, I focused on Marine Ecology, in particular on the natural and anthropogenic impacts on the deep sea benthic organisms. Successively, I had other experiences as a Marine Biologist, both working and volunteering. Now, I am taking a part on a project which allows me to carry on my interest on a different kind of impact on the deep sea ecosystems. During my free time I love diving, skating and walking.
