About me

I'm a postdoc with Matt Church, working on a variety of projects linking bacterial and archaeal community structure and metabolic function.  I am particularly interested in understanding how ecosystem-level events, such as phytoplankton blooms, impact the interactions between bacterioplankton community composition and biogeochemical cycles.

 

I recently took part in a month-long cruise to sample microbial biodiversity in manganese nodule fields in the North Pacific Ocean. To learn more about this project, and to see some awesome pictures of the deep-sea creatures we found, visit our cruise website:
