I am a biological oceanographer, and mainly interested in the physiological and ecological properties of individual phytoplankton taxa in their shared environment and the anthropogenic impacts on the coastal ecosystem. My recent research projects are 1) examining how climate-driven natural hazard events such as post-fire debris flow can affect the coastal phytoplankton ecosystem using molecular analysis and 2) investigating how phytoplankton community responds to the ocean alkalinity enhancement. I am working in Dr. Iglesias-Rodriguez Lab as an Associate Specialist, organizing general lab environment, involving in several research projects and managing the BD Influx (flow cytometry) facility.
