Nick is originally from the United States where he obtained his Bachelors in Marine Science at Roger Williams University and then completed his Masters in Biological Oceanography at the University of Puerto Rico, Department of Marine Sciences. His work mostly dealt with population genetics, phylogeography, as well as species interactions and diversity on both shallow and mesophotic reefs. In April of 2018 he moved to Brisbane, Australia to start his PhD at the University of Queensland. There he hopes to work on microplastic accumulation on coral reefs and the effects plastics have on different trophic levels. He also hopes to in someway continue his mesophotic-themed research.
