Research Overview

My research focuses on the ecology and molecular ecology of zooplankton communities in the western Arctic Ocean and the Gulf of òòò½´«Ã½. Specifically, my interests lie in assessing biodiversity using molecular techniques (i.e., metagenetics and metabarcoding) as well as DNA barcoding for species identification, population genetics, and population connectivity.
