Freshwater ecologist | Microbial ecologist | Aquatic mycologist | Molecular ecologist

I am a freshwater ecologist particularly fond of aquatic fungi. I want to understand how global change can affect the biodiversity and activity of microbial communities and the potential consequences for freshwater ecosystem functioning. My interests include the impacts of temperature, eutrophication, drought, biodiversity loss, invasive species, pollution and multiple stressors (among others). I have also been working on the development and use of molecular techniques to assess microbial diversity. More recently, I am also devoting my energy to aquatic fungal conservation.
