Júlia Chaumel is a marine zoologist specialist in rays and skates (i.e. batoids). Her research interests are based on characterising the composition, morphology and function of diverse and unique body structures present in batoids by using a combination of different techniques, including material testing, kinematics and 3D imaging processing. She received her Ph.D. at the Max Planck Institute in 2021, studying the composition and growth of shark and ray skeletons from the cellular point of view.
