We are recruiting:

  • 1 PhD student (position available immediately) focusing on environmental microbiology and biotechnology.
  • Undergraduate researchers are always welcome during academic year and summer.

More information on OUR WEBPAGE.

Sustainability Special Issue "Microbial Associations of Alpine Plant Communities and Their Impact on Alpine Ecosystems" welcomes submissions!

Research Interests

Emerging contaminants have profound impacts on microbial communities, the heart of many ecosystems. My research goal is to understand responses of microbial communities to emerging contaminants in both natural and engineered systems, and to translate this knowledge to innovative solutions for resource recovery and reuse, ecosystem sustainability, and public health improvement.

  • Environmental microbiology and biotechnology
  • Sustainable Food-Energy-Water nexus
  • Sustainable nanotechnology
  • Environmental health and pathogen exposure
  • Antibiotic resistome expansion
