Background and Research Interests
I did my Ph.D. in Jill Banfield's lab at UC Berkeley, where I used metagenomic techniques to study viral ecology in a hypersaline lake and to characterize deep subsurface microbial communities with implications for geologic carbon sequestration. My first postdoctoral position was in Noah Fierer's lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where I studied bacterial, archaeal, and fungal ecology in the atmosphere and the built environment and developed metagenomic techniques for studying viral assemblages in soil. As of January 2015, I have started a new postdoctoral position in Matt Sullivan's and Virginia Rich's labs at the University of Arizona (moving to The Ohio State University in June 2015), where I study viral influences on marine biogeochemistry and microbial community functional (metaproteomic) responses to permafrost thaw.
