About me

I am a third-year PhD stu­dent spe­cial­ising in the study of the Ver­ruco­mic­ro­bi­ota phylum. My re­search em­ploys com­pu­ta­tional ap­proaches to ex­plore their ge­netic po­ten­tial and un­der­stand their eco­lo­gical niches. Broadly speak­ing, I in­vest­ig­ate the tem­poral and spa­tial dy­nam­ics of these mi­croor­gan­isms. My PhD has in­cluded sampling ex­ped­i­tions, such as col­lect­ing sur­face wa­ter in Hel­go­land and gath­er­ing coastal wa­ter samples around South Geor­gia in the south­ern At­lantic Ocean.
