Research

My research focuses on the microbial ecology and biogeochemistry of deep-sea hydrothermal systems, combining multi-omics and geochemical modeling to understand how microbes influence the cycling of iron, sulfur, and trace elements in hydrothermal plumes.

Throughout my academic journey, I've had the privilege of working with many inspiring researchers — some of whom became close friends and remarkable collaborators — leading to several exciting scientific partnerships, some of which are listed below.
