Our research program focuses on identifying specific drivers and mechanisms of productive performance.  We apply statistical and analytical methods to study the health, stability, and productivity of microbial players in environmental systems.  More specifically, our research goals are:

  • Identifying microbial drivers of global change
  • Detection of biological indicators of environmental health
  • Unification of heterogeneous datasets
  • Investigation of interactions within complex microbial communities

Keywords:  Microbiology; community dynamics; environment; biology
