I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Hildebrand Group, specialising in environmental metagenomics, particularly soil microbiology. I am developing methods for analysing stable-isotope enriched metagenomes to understand the impact of ammonia-oxidising archaea within the carbon and nitrogen cycles.

During my PhD in Bioinformatics at the University of East Anglia, I worked on generating prokaryotic and eukaryotic metagenome-assembled genomes from the Central Arctic Ocean. I used these data to study the taxonomic and functional profiles of seawater and sea ice, using methods from numerical ecology and gene-network modelling.

My research interests are in supervised and unsupervised methods within genome-resolved metagenomics, developing tools for metagenomic and phylogenomic analyses and compositional data analysis within microbial ecology.
