Anjali Gopakumar is a postdoctoral research associate at Macquarie University, focused on investigating impacts management of the invasive ascidian, Didemnum vexillum, in Australian waters. Her PhD research centered on assessing restoration responses using lesser-known ecosystem function service indicators, particularly studying microbial communities and biogeochemical fluxes in coastal saltmarshes in the Venice lagoon, Italy, and estuaries in New South Wales, Australia. Prior to her PhD, Anjali completed an Erasmus Mundus Joint Master degree in Marine Biology at Ghent University in Belgium, where she received a fully funded EMJMD scholarship. Anjali also worked as a Research Assistant at the University of Oslo in Norway for several months, where she conducted research on mercury accumulation in fish from the Northern Barents Sea during her Master's thesis studies. Her diverse research interests encompass marine taxonomic functional biodiversity, trophic interactions within marine food webs, marine invasive ecology, and biogeochemistry related to marine conservation and restoration.
