Bio
I am a native of eastern North Carolina (Beaufort, NC) with a broad interest in marine and aquatic science with particular focus on microbiology. My lab utilizes traditional and modern techniques (genetic analyses, flow cytometry, isotope tracing) to investigate questions related to aquatic biogeochemistry, nutrient cycling, water quality, and ecophysiology of microbial populations.
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF INTERESTS:
Points of collaboration include:
>Addressing water quality issues, particularly those involving cyanobacterial blooms
>Nutrient cycling, esp. N and cycling of organics
>Combating and predicting future eutrophication
>Assessing resilience and activity of coastal bacterioplankton and phytoplankton to environmental and climate-related change
>Leveraging aquatic microbes for bioprospecting
>Mesoscale resolution of environmental change, including monitoring using UAVs
