About Me

Microbiome diversity, functions & evoution • Omics & bioinformatics

I am a microbial ecologist investigating the diversity, function, and evolution of aquatic microbiomes across freshwater and marine systems. My work combines ecological approaches with genome-resolved and protein-centric metagenomics to explore how microbial communities and their functional repertoires are structured across environmental gradients. Through coordinated sampling and multi-scale analyses, I address ecological and evolutionary questions in aquatic systems.

Skills

  • Environmental DNA extraction & sequencing-ready library preparation
  • Metabarcoding, genome-resolved metagenomics & metatranscriptomics
  • Flow cytometry
  • Reproducible bioinformatics pipelines & big-data integration
  • Multivariate community analyses & functional biogeography

Projects
