The ECS student community
My name is Camilla Aiuti, and I am a PhD student in Biodiversity at the University of Barcelona, collaborating with the Tethys Research Institute, Milan.
I completed my Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences (2018–2021) and my Master's degree in Marine Sciences (2021–2023) at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy. During my academic journey, I developed a strong interest in marine mammal ecology and conservation, focusing my Master's research on spatial management strategies for cetacean conservation.
Currently, I am pursuing my PhD that focuses on cetacean conservation within the Pelagos Sanctuary in the Mediterranean Sea, integrating ecological modelling, marine spatial planning, and governance to better understand human pressures and support more effective conservation strategies.
As your ECS Student Representative, I am excited to contribute to a welcoming and supportive student community, creating opportunities to connect, exchange knowledge, and grow together. I hope to encourage student involvement, collaboration, and new opportunities for the next generation of marine mammal scientists.
