Mr Juan Sanchez Gonzalez

Higher Degree by Research Candidate

School of Biological Sciences

College of Science


I am a PhD student at Adelaide University under the supervision of Dr. Ilaíne Silveira Matos (principal), Dr. Milena Fernandez (SA Water – co-supervisor), and Associate Professor Jason Tanner (AU/SARDI- co-supervisor). Our research examines how seagrass responds to light and heatwaves to future-proof restoration strategies. Prior to this, I completed my M.Sc and B.Sc in Biology at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. My main interests lie in research-based environmental restoration and conservation that incorporates community education.
