I’m an early career research scientist working in the diverse fields of biology, microbiology, genetics, ecology and evolution. My research has a broad focus on the `-omics` (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, phylogenomics) of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes to investigate how various species respond to and adapt to their environment. Current research is in the field of synthetic biology, chiefly on the development of synthetic gene circuits in bacteria strains for microplastic degradation.
