My research interest is in determining the drivers of microbial ecosystem function, and I have expertise in microbiome characterization, shotgun metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. I am running projects focused on 1) understanding how microbial ecosystem function is affected by land use change and pollutants; 2) linking microbial interactions with soil carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gas emissions; 3) understanding antimicrobial resistance in the environment through a One Health approach. I also have a long-standing interest in working with microbial glycoside hydrolase genes.
