Field of Expertise
- Nano-scale Secondary Ion mass Spectrometry (nanoSIMS) for analysis of biological samples
- Fluorescence microscopy
- Microbiology
- Stable isotope labeling
Research topic of my PhD project
Single-cell chemical Imaging with NanoSIMS to study metabolic heterogeneity of bacterial population during biodegradation processes
- Imaging with NanoSIMS to study metabolic functions at single-cell level
- Understand metabolic strategies of different microbial populations and the dynamics related to biodegradation of chemicals in the environment
- Evaluate which factors (biotic and abiotic) control the microbial metabolic heterogeneity and how these influence the capacity of an ecosystem to biodegrade chemicals
Main Research Interests
- Single cell approach on ecophysiology and metabolic networks of microbes in the environment
- Study of physical and metabolic interactions between different microbes in experimental and natural set-up
- Linking specific function (metabolic activity) with identity (FISH, CARD-FISH) of microorganisms in different environmental samples
