Principal Investigators
In my laboratory, computational systems biology approaches result in predictions of metabolic potential in both individual microorganisms and microbial communities. These insights underpin laboratory investigations targeting physical, chemical, and biological controllers on biogeochemical processes. I couple holistic and reductionist approaches to interrogate the interactions between organismal bioenergetics, interconnected community metabolism, and chemical processes.
