I am currently a researcher at the SoildiverAgro consortium, which focuses on enhancing soil biodiversity in European agroecosystems to promote stability, resilience, and reduce external inputs while increasing crop performance.In my role, I am responsible for assessing microbial diversity and functionality across our different case studies. To do so, I utilize cutting-edge techniques such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and high-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction… Show more I am currently a researcher at the SoildiverAgro consortium, which focuses on enhancing soil biodiversity in European agroecosystems to promote stability, resilience, and reduce external inputs while increasing crop performance.In my role, I am responsible for assessing microbial diversity and functionality across our different case studies. To do so, I utilize cutting-edge techniques such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and high-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction (HT-qPCR). In addition, I use multivariate statistics to explore connections between the microbial responses and environmental parameters.By conducting this research, I contribute to the development of a comprehensive understanding of soil ecosystems, paving the way for sustainable agricultural practices that preserve soil health, promote biodiversity, and improve crop productivity.My post-doc position is divided between the two projects REWA and SoildiverAgro.

Joint Ph.D. program graduate from the University of Copenhagen and Chinese Academy of Sciences, with expertise in environmental science and antibiotic resistance. My research focused on understanding the role of various environmental compartments in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, as well as investigating the co-selection potential of contaminants like metals. By studying microbial ecology and its relation to the One Health concept, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of… Show more Joint Ph.D. program graduate from the University of Copenhagen and Chinese Academy of Sciences, with expertise in environmental science and antibiotic resistance. My research focused on understanding the role of various environmental compartments in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance, as well as investigating the co-selection potential of contaminants like metals. By studying microbial ecology and its relation to the One Health concept, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between environmental factors and antimicrobial resistance.Throughout my Ph.D., I gained extensive experience in utilizing cutting-edge techniques such as NGS, HT-qPCR, multivariate statistics, and whole-cell bioreporter assays. These skills enabled me to conduct in-depth risk assessments of environmental pollutions and make informed recommendations for mitigation strategies.One of the highlights of my doctoral journey was spending a year in China, which exposed me to diverse environments and fostered my ability to thrive in interdisciplinary research settings. This experience further enriched my adaptability and strengthened my cross-cultural collaboration skills.I am passionate about addressing the critical issue of antibiotic resistance and its impact on public health. By combining my expertise in microbial ecology, advanced research techniques, and interdisciplinary collaboration, I strive to contribute to the development of effective strategies for combating antimicrobial resistance and promoting sustainable environmental practices.
