Research Interests

I am a microbial ecologist with special interests in the ecology of terrestrial and deep-sea hydrothermal vents and in the evolution of biogeochemical cycles.

Teaching Interests

I help teach the core Microbiology course, however, also teach courses in my area of expertise, Microbial Ecology and Microbial Diversity. From time to time I offer special topics courses, that focus on current trends in different fields of microbiology and ecology. I most enjoy teaching classes where learning is more experiential rather than solely factual.
