Research Abstract
Our lab aims to uncover fundamental principles of the generation and maintenance of diversity in microbial communities across environmental, engineered, and human systems. To do this, we bring together perspectives from microbiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology. We investigate the mechanisms underlying microbial biogeographic patterns and the consequences of this diversity for ecosystem functioning, particularly in the face of environmental change.
