Genomics, metagenomics, biocontrol and computational biology. Bridging wet-lab science with bioinformatics pipelines on HPC.
My work sits at the convergence of microbial ecology, computational genomics, and biotechnology. Using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, whole-genome sequencing, and shotgun metagenomics, I reveal how microorganisms function within complex ecosystems.
From plant-soil microbiome dynamics and biocontrol to fermented food functional genomics, I integrate wet-lab experimentation with cutting-edge bioinformatics pipelines on HPC environments.
My PhD research at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville focuses on genomic and metagenomic approaches to understand microbial community structure and ecological roles across diverse environments.
