Research Interests

I am an organic geochemist studying the formation and microbial consumption of gaseous hydrocarbons in marine cold and hot seep environments. I used lipid geochemistry, carbon isotope geochemistry, experimental microbiology and experimental fluid-rock interations to tackle my research questions. My long-standing research interest lies in water-rock-microbial life interactions. 

 

Research Projects

  • Sources for hydrocarbon gases, i.e., methane through pentane, at the Guaymas Basin
  • Microbial ether lipid biogeochemistry in hydrothermal sediments of the Guaymas Basin
  • Geochemical constraints on intact polar lipids diversity in methane-laden sediments of the northern US Atlantic Margin
  • Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in cold and hot seep sediments
