Donna Dimarchopoulou holds PhD, MSc, and BSc degrees from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Greece.
Her research focuses on marine biology and fisheries ecology, with a particular interest in how fishing and environmental changes impact marine ecosystems. She employs ecosystem modelling, stock assessments, and other quantitative methods in her work.
In 2024, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Canada’s Dalhousie University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US, where she worked on assessing the effects of ocean warming on shifting fisheries catches in the northwest Atlantic Ocean.
Currently, Donna is working on a joint postdoc with AUTH and the Sea Around Us at the University of British Columbia to explore the global climate-change-induced poleward shifts of fish distributions.
In her free time, Donna loves travelling the world and enjoying the sea.
