Description of Research
|
Summary Statement of Research Interests
|
|
I am intersted in studying molecular evolution, ecology, and community structure of microbes using genomic and metagenomic techniques. Modern sequencing technologies allow us to explore microbial communities in great detail, discovering which organisms are present in the environment and how they survive. Comparative genomics can be used to study evolution of species, allowing us to examine how life responds to our ever-changing environment.
