My Research

I enjoy the nitty-gritty details, and being diverse in all areas of research. For my Master’s thesis I worked on chemotaxis of symbiodiniaceae at the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Currently I manage and operate various research systems and technologies, support technical experimental design, data collection, and instrumentation development while maintaining long-term projects and equipment for our lab.
