Our research group focuses on the biogeochemical cycling of trace metals in the marine environment. Trace metals such as iron, copper, nickel and cobalt are important drivers of microbial processes, and our group aims to identify how the chemical forms of trace metals may influence these processes. Specific research themes in our group focus on studying the cycling of organic metal-binding ligands (such as siderophores), and complementing trace metal distribution studies with experimental work to better understand trace metal cycling.
Currently, I serve on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) committee for the School of Oceanography. Our committee recognizes that black, indigenous, and people of color are poorly represented in academia and STEM fields, including oceanography. Our committee is trying to improve the recruitment, retention, and support of people of color in oceanography, increase the transparency in decision-making and communication within our school, and begin to tackle systematic changes to improve DEI in our department. There is a lot of work to be done!
