I am a marine biogeochemist and I am generally interested in nutrient bioavailability to aquatic microbial organisms. More precisely, I would like to focus my research in using biotechnology (whole cell biosensor or 'bioreporter') and molecular tools (FISH, Q-RT PCR) to link nutrient bioavailability to marine microbial communities structure and function. So far I have focused my research on the trace metal iron but I am developing interest in macronutrients which are also playing an important role in the World Ocean (eg. Phosphorus & Nitrogen).
