Research Interests
My research is directed toward understanding ecological adaptation of microorganism populations. My work interest is orientated on microbial diversity and ecological function for microbes playing fundamental processes in the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen. I am currently more focused on terrestrial microorganisms (both crenarchaea and bacteria) implicated in the ammonia oxidation process. My fundamental aims are to determine the importance and mechanisms of nitrification by crenarchaea in acid soils and to highlight driving factors that control their community structure and diversity.
