Research Field
- Microbial oceanography
- Aquatic microbial ecology
- Carbon cycling in the deep ocean
My work focuses on understanding the role of microbes,
particularly Bacteria and Archaea,
in oceanic biogeochemical cycling.
In particular, I study:
- prokaryotic biomass distribution
- in situ activity (biomass production, respiration, CO2 fixation)
- effect of high hydrostatic pressure
Research objective
By measuring realistic activity rates in situ, I aim to understand how deep-ocean microbes survive and drive biogeochemical processes.

The sampling locations cover major ocean basins.
