I'm a trained microbiologist with a background in applied biology, molecular/environmental microbiology, and bioinformatics. I'm driven by my interest in microbial physiology - how do microbes contribute to planetary health and how can we use them to make our life more sustainable? My group's work is centered around lanthanide-dependent microbial metabolism. My broader research interests include top-down / bottom-up microbial carbon cycling, subsurface microbiology, and metal cycling. For our work we follow an embedded omics approach, combining DNA sequencing-based methods with complementary methods, e.g. analytics and advanced electron microscopy, to tackle research objectives from different angles.
