Academic interests
I am a postdoctoral researcher experienced with multi-omics bioinformatics, biostatistics and molecular biology for the analysis of large microbiome datasets. I completed a PhD studying the diversity of marine, deep-sea microbial eukaryotes at the University of Geneva, and worked as a postdoc on environmental and human gut microbiome projects related to mining and nutrition at UC San Diego, where I participated to developing bioinformatic tools.
At UiO, I work on the MarMip project to study microplastic biofilm microbes spreading in oceans, and assess their envrionmental and human health impacts. I will be adjusting the metagenomic and computational lenses through which our international team will understand gene exchange and ecological mechanisms determining antibiotic resistance and other metabolisms.
