I am interested in biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen in the ocean and how trace metal limitation affects these processes. I am also interested in how microbial lipid composition changes with nutrient and trace metal stress. During my PhD I studied the relationship between lipids and iron stress in the nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria, Trichodesmium. My current work aims to understand the trace metal requirements of marine ammonia-oxidizing archaea and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria and the strategies they use to acquire trace metals.

Outside of lab I like to spend my time with my dog Tim gardening, cooking, and surfing.
