My research explores how microorganisms acquire and process different nutrients – particularly phosphorus – and how this affects the environment around them. This work includes engineered and natural systems, encompasses microbial ecology, biochemistry, and bioinformatics, and ranges from identifying the organisms driving these processes to exploring the mechanisms used and their controls. Through this I hope to advance our understanding of how the natural world functions and support the development of novel technologies to reduce the impacts of human society..
I’d welcome PhD applications from those who have, or expect to have, at least a 2.1 degree or equivalent in microbiology, biochemistry or related areas, particularly with an interest in:
