I am currently engaged in the study of microbial assembly/diversity, with a focus on comprehending their roles in nutrient cycling and analyzing their responses to myriad of environmental changes. Using advanced molecular techniques, ecological modeling, and field observations, my goal is to understand the intricate dynamics of microbial communities. By studying their functions, adaptations, and evolutionary trajectories, I aim to uncover valuable insights. In the end, my objective is to enhance our comprehension of the core principles that govern microbial ecosystems and their impact on global health, agriculture, and environmental sustainability.
