Education

  • Ph.D., 2011 University of Georgia
  • M.E.M., 2005 Duke University
  • B.Sc., 2003 James Madison University

Research Interests

I am broadly interested in biotic and abiotic influences on prokaryotic cycling of C, N, and S in the marine environment. I typically integrate microbiological, geochemical, and rate analysis techniques to develop a holistic understanding of microbiological processes in marine sediments.
