Research:
My research directs toward biochemical, physiological, and ecological functions of soil and environmental microorganisms. The goal is to develop fundamental knowledge and apply the information obtained to practice for sustaining agriculture and the environment. Current research emphasis is on soil microbial community structure and nitrogen cycling.
