Expertise

Research Interests:

  • Coral symbioses and climate change
  • Algal ecophysiology
  • Primary productivity and photosynthesis
  • Photo-optical properties
  • Gene expression
  • Instrument development

Our research mostly falls into one of the following themes:

  1. Nutrient Cycling in Marine Invertebrates
  2. Algal Ecophysiology
  3. Model Systems and Controlled Environments
  4. Instrument Development

I am interested in matching physiological plasticity with genetic diversity within ecologically important photosynthetic marine protists.
