As a microbial biogeochemist, I am interested in how microorganisms control planetary biogeochemistry and modulate the impact of anthropogenic pollution. My research focuses on how microbes interact with each other and their environment, how they shape their localized biogeochemistry, and how they collectively impact biogeochemical cycles across scales in the Earth system.
