Research interests:

Microbes are my interest and phytoplankton is my passion. I am currently immersed in research of the life and death interactions among the microbial and phytoplankton populations in freshwater lakes and ponds. I have been fully engaged by the complexity and subtlety of these amazing ecosystems.
