RESEARCH INTERESTS
My primarily research focuses of the identification and characterization of factors shaping microbial community composition and driving niche differentiation, co-existence and microbial interactions in various environmental and clinical systems.
As a scientist in the Joint Microbiome Facility (jmf.univie.ac.at), I coordinate collaborative projects, and assist collaboration partners with project design, implementation and sequencing based (amplicon, metagenomics and metatranscriptomic) microbiome data analysis.
My own research focuses of the investigation of environmental microbial communities and microbial physiology, with a particular focus on microorganisms involved in nitrogen, sulfur, manganese and iron cycling in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
