Research Interest
Research Specialities: Anaerobic and aerobic cultivation of microorganisms, environmental sampling.My lab focuses on microbial diversity in oligotrophic, geothermal, and ‘ancient’ environments. Microbes from these environments have deep implications that could greatly influence applied research through the enhancement of fundamental knowledgebase in extant/extinct microbial biomes, characterizing pathways for alternative biofuels, and piecing together the mechanisms of the origins of life.
