Personal profile
Overview
My research focuses on the development of novel experimental and theoretical methods to study the ecology and evolution of microbial communities. I am particularly interested in the factors that govern the dynamics of the gut microbiome, and investigating the role environmental complexity plays in how microbes interact and evolve.
