Research Focus

My Ph.D. research is part of a growing body of work that critically examines biogeochemical cycling in the ocean, particularly regions that are currently under-sampled. My research aims and focuses involve exploring phytoplankton community dynamics and microbe-nutrient interactions in the Indian Ocean, including subtropical and Southern Ocean waters. Additionally, my research focuses include calculating ocean uptake rates to quantify the rates at which carbon uptake and nutrient uptake facilitates or induces carbon export potential.
