Welcome to my personal website

I am a Postdoctoral researcher working in Arthur Grossman and Devaki Bhaya’s lab at the Carnegie Institution for Science, Department of Plant Biology, at Stanford. My research focuses on how biofilm communities of thermophilic bacteria in Yellowstone hot springs have coevolved to thrive in such extreme environments. During my PhD at Cambridge University in Alison Smith’s lab, I studied the metabolic consequences of vitamin B12 deprivation in microalgae, and their mutualistic relationships with B12-producing bacteria.
