Summary Statement of Research Interests

My research interests include microbial spatial and temporal diversity patterns and understanding what changes in community structure and composition could mean for biogeochemical and ecological processes. I am also very interested in the ecological linkages between microbial organisms from all 3 domains of life. I use molecular applications to address microbiological and ecological questions.
