Personal profile
Research
The focus of my research is on the main factors that regulate nutrient (C, N, P, S, Fe) cycling in aquatic systems. Such factors include microorganisms, algae, seagrasses, and macroinvertebrates. I am particularly fascinated by the activity of electro-active bacteria. My work on this topic covers aspects such as their metabolism, geochemical impact, diversity, and potential applications in sensing and remediation technologies. I address these topics by applying a range of sensing and isotopic techniques
