We are very happy to welcome Anusha Ray to the team! Anusha holds a PhD from the University of Hyderabad, where she worked on culturomics and phylotaxogenomics of microorganisms from extreme environments such as saltpans and acid mines. She then continued as a postdoctoral researcher at RISE (Research Institute for Sustainable Energy), TCG-CREST, where she focused on applying metal–organic frameworks
Excited to welcome Chiara Di Mattia to the team! 🎉 Chiara holds a BSc in Biology and Bioinformatics (with a minor in Astronomy) from the University Côte d’Azur, France, and is now in the Biology Master’s program at SDU. Starting in February, Chiara will take on an independent study in our lab, while also contributing as a student helper to
I’m excited to announce that Sebastian Bak Bjørnskov has joined my team as a 4+4 PhD student. Sebastian will be diving into research on the mechanisms of interspecies interactions facilitated by geoconductors. With a keen interest in genetics, he’ll be utilizing techniques like gene deletions to uncover the mechanistic details driving these fascinating processes. Sebastian has already been successful in
In early August, Adrienn Groza successfully completed her six-month Erasmus MSc thesis internship in my lab at SDU. Since then, she has returned to the Netherlands to begin an exciting new chapter: pursuing a PhD in environmental microbiology. During her time in the lab, Adrienn explored the effects of bioelectrochemical stimulation on digestate communities (provided by Nature Energy) and their
Karina and Satoshi sampled sediments from Greenland. We are interested in discovering what happens when the Arctic melts, giving way to glacier melt debris flowing in coastal waters and carrying minerals that may influence greenhouse gas emissions. Since this is unexplored, we hope to bring firsthand knowledge about what may be affecting methane emissions and the microbial communities involved in
