I am a research specialist in the Neuer lab. I study the growth and aggregate formation of particle-associated heterotrophic marine bacteria from the Sargasso Sea to understand their contribution to the biological carbon pump. I am also exploring carbon utilization and the relationship between phytoplankton, bacteria, and their respective exudates. In my future work, I hope to focus on the effects of ocean acidification and ocean warming on bacterial communities and aggregation.
