SHORT CV
I was born on the 23.11.1992 in Ljubljana, where I finished high school at Gimnazija Poljane. After graduating I began with my studies of biology at the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana. During my studies I have participated in many workshops and seminars where I deepened my knowledge of life sciences. In the last year of my bachelor’s degree I was accepted to a student exchange in Perth, Australian lead by the European-Australian Network. I spent 5 months in Perth at Edith Cowan University, fulfilling my assignments towards my degree in Biology. Upon returning to Slovenia I started working at the Marine Biology Station in Piran on a student project where we developed a method for fast identification of fish species in food products. Work on this project had lead me to continue my education in marine biology so I applied and was accepted to St Andrews University in Scotland on a Masters course in Ecosystem-based management of marine systems. I spent a year in Scotland and graduated in November 2016 with a thesis titled Investigating immigration as a driver of population growth in the New Caledonian humpback whale breeding grounds using paternity analysis. After finishing my masters, I continued my studies on a PhD programme of Ecotechnology at the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School and started working as PhD candidate at the Marine biology station in Piran, where I am involved in studies of harmful algal blooms and the phytoplankton composition of the Slovenian sea.
OTHER ACTIVITIES
I am a member of the academic assembly of the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate school. I frequently write for popular science magazines and websites, where I try to bring my scientific interest to the general public and even children.

SHORT CV
I was born on the 22th June 1990 in Trieste, where I lived and studied. I graduated at Guglielmo Oberdan High School and then I proceeded my studies in the University of the Studies of Trieste (UNITS). In 2015 I have complete bachelor studies in Science and Technologies for the Environment and Nature, so my background at this formation level is in natural science. My bachelor final report: Dinamiche a mesoscala di pico-e nanoplancton al largo di Baia Terra Nova (Mare di Ross, Antartide) was the result of the time I spent during a trainee in OGS institute in Trieste. I graduate at Master’ degree level two years later again in Trieste. This time I graduated in Environmental Biology with a thesis titled: Functional redundancy of seagrasses in Mediterranean lagoons: carbon, oxygen and nutrient cycles. My master thesis was conducted in the IFREMER institute of Sete (France) during a mobility period of six month financed by the Erasmus+ program. In October 2018 after a mobility period of six months financed by the FVG’s founding program EURES, I started working as young researcher at the National Institute of Biology. I am conducting here the research work for the PhD program of Eco-technology at the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate School.

SHORT CV
I was born on 17. 11. 1995 in Ljubljana, where I successfully finished high school at the Biotechnical Educational Centre (BIC Ljubljana). After finishing high school, I enrolled at the Biotechnical Faculty of the University of Ljubljana, where I graduated in 2018. The sea and especially fish have always fascinated me, so after graduation I decided to do an Erasmus+ internship at the Malta National Aquarium, where I worked as an aquarist for six months and learned a lot about a variety of marine animals from all over the world. In 2019, I continued my studies at the University of Primorska, where I enrolled in the Master's programme Nature Conservation at the Faculty of Mathematics, Natural Sciences and Information Technologies. During my Master's studies I was already associated with the Marine Biology Station. In summer 2020 I completed my internship at the Marine Biology station and later participated in the project Pirates of Plastics - Go Europe, which focuses on micro(plastic) pollution in European rivers.
In September 2021 I successfully completed my Master's thesis "Food habits of painted comber (Serranus scriba) and brown comber (Serranus hepatus) in the Slovenian sea" under the supervision of Prof. dr. Lovrenc Lipej and dr. Domen Trkov. After completing my Master's degree, I enrolled in the PhD programme Ecotechnology at the Jožef Stefan International Postgraduate school in Ljubljana (MPS) and started working at the Marine Biology Station Piran as a young researcher. For my PhD research I am currently working on the restoration of brown algal forests in the northern Adriatic Sea under the supervision of dr. Martina Orlando Bonaca.
