Background and Research interests
I joined the Rich Lab as an undergraduate in August 2015 and became a full-time lab assistant upon my graduation in December 2015. My previous undergraduate research includes involvement in Dr. Thomas Santangelo and Dr. John Reeve's Thermococcus kodakarensis genome and gene knockout project and in Dr. Terry Niblack's soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines) laboratory.
In the Rich Lab, I assist with general lab logistics including purchasing/ordering, shipping, scheduling, inventory, equipment operation and maintenance, tech support, and general organizational needs. I additionally assist with DNA/RNA extractions, perform data assessment and literature research related to community -omics, and assist with field sampling in Abisko, Sweden. I additionally created and maintain the IsoGenie project webpage
My research interests include:
- Microbial ecology related to climate change
- Subsurface microbial ecology
- Plant-microbe and fungi-microbe interactions
- Use of microbes in industrial processing and food production
