My research interests include the development of models of marine microbes to investigate the relationships of individual organisms, the community structure and their nutrient and physical environment. This work is done as part of the "Darwin Project". Additionally, I am involved in considering the marine physical and biological environments' role in the earth's climate system, particularly in terms of the carbon cycle. This work is done as part of the "MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change".
