I am an environmental microbiologist and biogeochemist fascinated by how tiny microbes drive global biogeochemical cycles. My research integrates biogeochemical field studies, metagenomics, microbial ecology experiments, models, and theories to quantitatively characterize and predict microbial community assembly and nitrogen and carbon cycles in a changing environment. I received my PhD from the Department of Geosciences at Princeton University and was a Hutchinson Postdoc Fellow at Yale University before joining Carnegie.
