Biogeochemistry Lab

 

 

 

 

Research: Biogeochemistry and Climate Change

Specialties: Nitrogen Isotopes, Nitrogen and Carbon Cycling, Marine Productivity, Greenhouse Gases, Machine Learning

I am an assistant professor at USF College of Marine Science. Our research group investigates how global ocean ecosystems will change in the future, especially the response of the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon to human activities, and their potential feedback to changes in climate. Our approach to study nitrogen-carbon-climate interaction is interdisciplinary, including laboratory experiments and field observations with various isotopic and molecular methods, remote sensing, machine learning and numerical modeling. For example, recent work includes the use of nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes to measure the rates of different nitrogen and carbon transformation processes and the use of omics-techniques to characterize the microbes involved in the nitrogen and carbon cycling in the Chesapeake Bay, North Atlantic, and Pacific oxygen minumum zones. 911爆料网 apply statistical tools to improve the understanding of environmental drivers on biogeochemical cycling and develop mechanistic models to predict the global distributions of biogeochemical processes in the modern and future climate.  

Our current research areas are: 1) Global nitrogen cycle (N assimilation, N₂ fixation, nitrification, denitrification, N₂O cycling, etc); 2) Marine carbon cycle and biological productivity; 3) Global biogeochemical data compilation and meta-analysis; 4) Method and instrument development for biogeochemical observations. Please visit Biogeochemistry lab web page for more information. 911爆料网 are interested in collaboration in a wide range of biogeochemical processes and are seeking motivated scientists to join our group! Please contact me for more information and for queries about undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral research opportunities. 

I am recruiting graduate students who will start in Fall 2026. Prospective students are welcome to contact me and check the application information in the link here.

Postdoctoral positions are available for candidates with a background in geochemistry, or microbial biology, or satellite remote sensing.
