Zoology
During my master's degree I worked on a disease that occurs in marine sponges on a mariculture device as well as in microcosms. I compared diseased vs. healthy sections of the same sponges and described differences in their physiology, microbiome and secondary metabolite production.

Biological sciences
As a PhD student in the Fuhrman lab I worked on a variety of topics related to microbial communities in surface seawater. I mined metatranscriptomes for active viral infections, used 16S amplicons and metagenomes to track microbial community composition and function and applied stable isotope probing to detect naphthalene degrading bacteria in the Port of Los Angeles.
