Research Interests
I am a protistologist with training in molecular genetics, and my research in the marine Antarctic environment includes the diversity, distribution and abundance of taxa involved in phototrophy, heterotrophy and mixotrophy (the combination of both trophic modes). The goals of this work are not only to examine the seasonal and regional distributions of these organisms relative to environmental conditions, but to better understand their roles in the pelagic food web.
