Molecular microbial ecology, diversity and evolution

About me

I am a microbial ecologist whose research applies culture-independent molecular approaches to understand the structure and function of microbial communities in the environment. During my dissertation research (University of California, Berkeley) I was the lead author on one of the first studies to use metagenomics. In this work I investigated the metabolic potential and population diversity of microbial communities involved in acid mine drainage (AMD) generation, and demonstrated, for the first time, that metagenomic data could be used to reconstruct near-complete genomes directly from environmental samples.

My group at The University of Queensland used the metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches I helped pioneer, to investigate microbial communities in a wide range of different communities in both engineered systems and natural environments. The group developed new ways to analyse genomic data by leading efforts in error correction for high-throughput sequencing platforms, single-cell sequencing and deep spatiotemporal metagenomics.
