Education

Ph.D. 2008, University of New Mexico. Biology.

Area(s) of Specialization

Microbial ecology, microbial diversity and nutrient cycling processes in streams and soils.

Research Focus

My research centers on microbial ecology, microbial diversity and nutrient cycling processes in streams and soils. Main goals include the integration of methods on both microbial and ecosystem scales, while addressing questions in managed and 'natural' systems within the context of global change.
