Biography

My interests lie in coral reef systems and their associated microbial communities, with a particular focus on how these interactions influence reef health and resilience. I am currently expanding my understanding of microbial processes in coral reef environments, and quite interested in beneficial microorganisms for corals and their potential in reef conservation. I have a background in biomedical sciences, along with experience in core microbiological and molecular techniques.
