I am a field and process oriented marine ecologist with expertise in ‘-omics data’, biogeochemistry, and food web dynamics using isotope tracer studies. My multidisciplinary research approach has enabled me to synthesize and bridge links between the fields of microbiology, biogeochemistry and marine ecology in coastal and open oceanic environments ranging from tropical to temperate and polar environments. My research interest are to showcase how genomic tools can be scaled and integrated in the day-to-day operations of conservation and fisheries managers to enable rapid and robust monitoring of ocean health.
