I'm interested in the way that microbes drive Earth's biogeochemical cycles, and are in turn influenced by their environments. I find questions about life origins as well as the evolution of microbial metabolism fascinating. At Dartmouth I am excited to study the relationships between archaeal lipid cyclization and environmental conditions among thermoacidophiles. In the future, I hope to continue to explore the limits of microbial life in Earth's unique ecosystems.
