Research Interests
I study the microbial ecology of a wide range of unusual ecosystems, including deep-sea hydrothermal vents and the Antarctic Dry Valleys, using molecular genetic and bioinformatic tools.
I'm interested in the development and validation of novel molecular techniques and bioinformatic analyses, and I use them in conjunction with geochemistry to examine the interactions between microbial communities and their environments.
