About
I'm a microbiologist with expertise in terrestrial and marine systems. I combine bench microbiology and molecular biology with high-throughput sequencing techniques to answer questions in microbial ecology. Broadly, I am interested in deciphering how microbes associate with plant roots and how we can leverage these interactions (i.e. bio-inoculants and microbiome breeding) to improve plant fitness under stress. I look at how plants are able to use exudation and microbial-associations to rapidly adapt to changing conditions and how microbial interactions (biotic constraints) can shape microbial functions
