I am very passionate about investigating the ecological and molecular responses of marine microalgal communities to environmental stressors, particularly those related to climate change. Using molecular tools such as metabarcoding and transcriptomics, I investigate the diversity and composition of marine communities and how they may shift with changing ocean conditions.
