In the broadest sense my research interests are in the reciprocal relationship(s) between microorganisms and their chemical environment. In particular, I am interested in linkages between nutrient availability and functionality (i.e. trophic interactions) in microbial communities. Furthermore, I am interested in how microbial production, both autotrophic and heterotrophic, impacts nitrogen and phosphorus biogeochemical cycles in aquatic ecosystems. I have conducted work on benthic and planktonic systems and remain interested in integrating studies of both habitats into a whole-ecosystem approach.
