Personal profile

Short presentation

I am a biologist specializing in Microbiology. My research area to date mainly focuses on microbial ecology, especially in microbe-microbe interactions in multispecies biofilm communities (MBCs) and their impacts on plant hosts. My current research is to investigate how interspecific bacterial interactions influence plant growth and tolerance to environmental stresses (e.g., drought).

Furthermore, I aim to address major outstanding ecological questions, e.g., how microbes interact and assemble into communities and function on plants. By combining bioinformatic analysis with microscale 3D in situ co-localization, I will quantify community composition and spatial organization of the MBCs, indentifying potential keystone species that shape the community structure and function.
