My research interests can be united under the central theme: understanding the role of plant community composition on ecosystem processes –such as carbon and nutrient cycling. Particularly, I am interested if apparent plant controls on ecosystem processes are mediated through interactions between plant and microbial communities, and if such interactions are affected by climate change. I developed a keen interest in the role of plant functional traits (e.g. rhizodeposition, photosynthetic capacity, enzymatic activity), and their variability, on above–belowground interactions.

I am currently a postdoctoral scientist at the Ecological Systems Laboratory of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland), but from April 2017 I will move into a new position as a lecturer at the Centre for Biological Sciences at the University of Southampton (UK)
