I am a postdoctoral fellow in Johan Wikner lab working in the field of marine microbial ecology where I try to understand the regulation of prokaryotic (Bacteria and Archaea) processes in the Arctic and sub-Arctic ecosystems.

Prokaryotes are the abundant biomass in the Oceans, and they influence vast activities in the marine food web and the carbon cycling. Understanding the flow of organic carbon through prokaryotes is crucial to model the effects of climate change. We are trying to explore the effects of different environmental factors such as temperature, nutrients and salinity on the fate of organic carbon and its influence on the prokaryotic growth rates, production, respiration, taxonomic compositions and gene expression patterns. Both laboratory (microcosms and mesocosms) and field expeditions are central to address these questions.
