Martina Martorell Barceló

Graduate at the University of the Balearic Islands with a Bachelor's in Biology and a Master's in Marine Ecology, I have advanced to a PhD supervised by Dr Josep Alós at the Mediterranean Institute of Advanced Studies, focusing on eco-chronobiology to explore behavioural variations in fish. Awarded a pre-doctoral fellowship by the Balearic Islands Government in December 2018, I developed robust fish tagging skills using external and PIT tags and acoustic telemetry. I've designed and led numerous experiments in the sea and the laboratory, significantly advancing my expertise in fish behaviour, experiment design, and statistical analysis using R software. My work has resulted in 11 published scientific articles and has been presented extensively at conferences, enhancing my skills in scientific communication both in academic and public spheres. Continuously seeking professional development, I have completed additional courses enhancing my animal experimentation, data analysis expertise, and communication skills.
