Current Area of Interest:
My interests lie in the coevolution of Earth’s chemistry and life. My research combines geochemistry with biochemistry to determine active mechanisms of chemical reactions with wide application to the environment. My group integrates proteomic techniques and geochemical context in environmental samples to determine what is actively happening in the environment at a given time and place under the set of conditions present, as well as providing a framework for how life has evolved in coordination with Earth in the past.
