Profile Picture

My primary motivation is to understand how microbial activities emerge from the interplay between individual organisms and their environment, revealing who is doing what, where, when, and why. To address these questions, I develop and apply stable isotope probing (SIP)-based metabolic labeling approaches that directly identify active microorganisms and quantify their metabolic activities.

Currently, my research focus is on non-photosynthetic “dark” CO2 fixation in subsurface habitats, to gain a better understanding of the role of this process for the groundwater community, the key players behind it and the factors influencing their activity.
