Biography
Dr. Kuhl is an aquatic microbial ecologist with broad interdisciplinary interests ranging from the technicalities of sensor development, over a fascination of single cell microbiology and behaviour, to studies of microenvironmental controls and microbial interactions in aquatic communities and ecosystems. I enjoy working at the boundaries and interfaces of different scientific disciplines and I implement sensor chemistry, photonics, and advanced imaging in my research. At C3, I integrate my expertise on microenvironmental studies with some of the excellent tools and expertise at UTS
Research Interest
Ecology and photobiology of surface-associated microbial communities and symbioses (biofilms/microbial mats,sediments, corals, foraminifera, ascidians), Development and application of microsensor and imaging techniques in microbial ecology and biogeochemistry, Microenvironmental controls of photosynthetic and respiratory processes.
