Scientific Interests and Goals:My main interest it is related on how microorganisms reacts to environmental fluctuations at different levels of organization from single cells to communities, the adaptation to those driving forces, and the shifts in their diversity, composition and abundance. I am interested in the role of microbes in the biogeochemical cycles, with focus on hypoxic environments, their structural and functional changes as well as resistance, and resilience of the communities, exploring microbial diversity patterns and it response to the environment at different scales of space and time and how the microbial assemblages controls the fluxes of matter and energy trough the ecosystem.
