Research interest

My main research interest lies in the area of soil biogeochemistry, biochemical cycles, soil- atmosphere interactions, global warming, and climate change. I am particularly interested in evaluating the use of stable isotopes including isotopomers, as a tool to characterize sources of greenhouse gases from soil and microbial pathways. More recently, and after working with Kravchenko lab, I have been captivated with the effect of plants rhizosphere on soil structure and further to N cycling processes. Our results are showing the importance of interactions among soil pore architecture and plants, something to have in mind when studying soil biogeochemical processes and greenhouse emissions from soils.
