Research Interests

  • Geo- and Astrobiology
  • Sedimentology
  • Biogeochemistry

I am interested in the in the deep-time sedimentary record of life and its environments. In my PhD project, I combine experimental and petrographic methods to better understand the formation and preservation of microbial biosignatures in hydrothermal sulfide deposits.
