Biography

My current research interests focus on coral physiology in response to climate change induced stress (shifting phenology, rising ocean temperatures). I am especially interested in high throughput metabolite sequencing (metabolomics/lipidomics) to understand biochemical underpinnings of these responses. At KAUST, I am supporting projects related to microbiome and metabolic heritability in coral reproduction and early life stages
