Personal profile

Research

I am a doctoral student under Edith Hammer in the SoilChip group. I study how the chemical properties and stability of microbial necromass are affected by the soil pore space characteristics and the death pathway. I work with soil chips (silicone-carved microstructures that mimic the soil pore space), Raman microspectroscopy and deep learning tools to follow the life and death of soil microbes at the microscale. 

 

I am an Environmental Biologist with broad interests. I have worked on plant ecophysiology and chemical ecology, molecular approaches to protist ecology, marine chemical ecology, and soil microbial ecology. I am very interested in tiny things, metabolism, and biogeochemistry. I have a thing for anaerobiosis and symbiosis. I'm also very much into science communication and environmental education.
