Research

My research program sits at the interface between the fields of ecology, oceanography, microbiology, and biogeochemistry. I use techniques such as PCR metabarcoding, microscopy, isotope probing, and bioinformatics to track how microbial ecosystems change across space / time and quantify how microbes contribute to the cycling of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen.

For more information on my research program, please check out the lab website and my Google Scholar profile. For a visual promotional presentation of my research program (from the "furious threes"), please see this online presentation. If you are interested in conducting research in my lab (e.g. as summer student, honours student, graduate student, postdoc, etc), please send an email to discuss further.
