Research interests and goals:

My research seeks to fundamentally elucidate microbial mediated processes in contaminated environments that merit bioremediation, specifically those responsible for the emission of potent greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Such an understanding is vital for development and optimization of bioremediation and climate change mitigation strategies. Overall, my main goal is establishing optimized microbial-based management schemes for green applications to improve the functionality of diverse ecological systems.
