BayCenSI Laboratory Manager and Member of its Steering Committee
Research interests:
- Effects of climate-induced changes on the lake metabolism of clear and oligotrophic lakes using advanced stable isotopes methods
- Effects of dissolved organic matter composition on the microbial and phytoplankton community and its associated metabolome in aquatic environments (lentic and marine)
- Community metabolomics through High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry

The ByCenSI has a team of expert technicians it can rely on.
