Our research delves into the complex interactions between marine microbes across various trophic levels. We examine how environmental factors and human activities influence these microbial relationships, ultimately shaping marine ecosystems.
Our comprehensive approach integrates laboratory experiments, field studies, and theoretical modeling. Through these methods, we explore the physiology, ecology, evolution, and biogeochemistry of marine microbes, with a particular focus on subtropical waters.
Key areas of our research include microbial community dynamics, environmental influences on microbial interactions, anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems, and biogeochemical cycling in subtropical regions. By combining these diverse approaches and areas of study, we aim to develop a deeper understanding of marine microbial ecosystems and their role in global processes.
We welcome passionate researchers interested in marine microbiology to join our team. Prospective students and postdocs are encouraged to contact us directly to discuss potential opportunities and contribute to our ongoing research efforts.
