• “Although inhabiting nutrient poor waters, coral reefs are some of Earth’s most biodiverse and productive ecosystems. My interests lie in understanding this paradigm. For my PhD, I plan on studying how energy is obtained and recycled among coral reefs using molecular isotope techniques, such as compound specific stable isotope analysis of amino acids.”
