Biography
My research background is in biogeochemistry and utilising organic geochemical techniques to characterise and quantify C cycling, metabolic pathways and trace gas exchange. My main research focus has been the mechanistic study of methane cycling in terrestrial settings through the combination of stable isotope probing (SIP) and molecular characterisation techniques to delineate discrete processes in complex systems.
Research Interest
Biogeochemistry, Organic Geochemistry, Stable Isotopes
