Microbes fascinate me. They can make a living almost anywhere, exhibit complex social lives, and influence the environment on a global scale, all despite their microscopic size. My research in environmental microbiology/microbial ecology focuses on understanding the ecological mechanisms that govern microbial interactions, both among microbes and between microbes and their environment, as well as microbial contributions to biogeochemical processes.
