RESEARCH INTEREST
I am interested in microbial ecology and my research aims to improve our understanding of how microbial communities are shaped by their host, the environment and/or by anthropogenic impacts across different geographic and temporal scales. To approach these subjects I like to combine field-based and experimental approaches and use molecular and statistical tools.
In the environmental biochemistry group, I study how sediment associated microbiota in North Sea vary in space and time. In particular, I am studying what the effects of long-term and intensive fishing methods are on the microbial ecology of the North Sea sediment.
