Research interests

My project aims to improve our understanding of the chemical composition of marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) and determine how this composition affects how DOM functions in biogeochemical carbon cycling, specifically the microbial carbon pump.

Research project: Oiling the Microbial Carbon Pump: lipids in refractory dissolved organic matter
