Michel E. Hendrickx received his Ph.D. from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, with a project dealing with "Crustacea Decapoda and Stomatopoda of the Gulf of California. Taxonomy, ecology and distribution." He served as an Invited Scientist at the Phuket Marine Biological Center, a field station operated by the Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, in Thailand, from 1974 to1976. He then worked as an Associated Expert for UNESCO, in a UNDP project in Mexico, from January 1977 to March 1981. He has been working at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México since 1981, and is currently a Senior Scientist there. Since 2016 he has been an "Emeritus" member of the National Research System (CONACyT-SNI), Mexico. He is also a Scientific Collaborator of the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique. Chief scientist of 22 research expeditions aboard the UNAM RV "El Puma," he is the author of 360 scientific publications, including 280 in journals, 61 book chapters and 10 books. He has also presented his research at national and international scientific meetings. He has been a member of the editorial committees in of several marine journals and was the editor or co-editor of several books. He has coordinated of workshops on Crustacea and Mollusca and was a coordinator/author of Decapoda Crustacea for the Fichas de Identificación de las Especies del Pacífico Central, F.A.O. His fields of research are related to taxonomy, ecology, and zoogeography of marine invertebrates in the eastern Pacific, particularly crustaceans but also mollusks and echinoderms.
