About
My research focuses on the topics of ecology of microbial communities, aka microbiomes as they are measured by DNA sequencing. My research lab works on the environmental microbiome in an ecological context, i.e., the relationships with other biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem. Currently, we are investigating the structures, dynamics and functions of the microbiomes of river systems, wastewater and urban aquatic ecosystems, and plant-soil system under a climate change scheme using metagenomics and metatranscriptomics approaches along with bioinformatics and multivariate statistics.
