My scientific interest lies at the intersection between ecology, biogeochemistry, and electrochemistry. The focus of my research is on the main factors that regulate macronutrients (C, N, P, S, Fe) cycling in marine and freshwater sediments, and prominently on the role of bacteria able to mediate electric currents. My work on this topic covers different aspects spanning between their metabolism, geochemical impact, diversity, and lastly, on how such electrogenic capabilities can be used to stimulate degradation of contaminants in sediments. I address these topics primarily by applying isotopic tracers and sensing techniques such as microelectrodes and planar optodes.
