I am an environmental microbiologist with a great interest on using bioinformatic approaches to study microbial metabolism and evolution. My research has focused on archaeal metabolism, environmental metagenomics and cultivation of novel microorganisms. Currently, I use next-generation sequencing technologies to link microbial function in different environments: from urban wastewaters to the polar regions.

Seminar at the CNB - Feb 26, 2024

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Absolutely honored to have presented my research on Arctic phytoplankton blooms and microbial community succession at the department seminar at CNB! 🌊 Exploring the shift from nitrogen to carbon dynamics in this icy wonderland was a journey filled with discovery. 🧪 Grateful for the opportunity and excited for the future of research in this captivating field! 🔬 #ArcticScience #MicrobialEcology"

New preprint is out! - March 1, 2024

-----------------------------------------------------------

Exciting news! 🎉 Just wanted to share that our latest research has been published as a preprint! 📝🔬 The title? "Nitrogen cycling during an Arctic bloom: from chemolithotrophy to nitrogen assimilation." Link here.

Big shoutout to the team for their hard work and dedication. 🙌 And of course, none of this would've been possible without the support of our funders and collaborators.

So, if you're into nitrogen cycling, Arctic ecosystems, or just cool science in general, give our preprint a read! And feel free to hit us up with any questions or thoughts. 🚀🔍
