Research Interests
Biogeochemical processes asocciated with marine biofilms, in particular:
- The significance of cell-cell communication (quorum sensing) in natural marine biofilms and the chemistry of specific quorum sensing signals, acylated homoserine lactones, in seawater.
- The development of novel analytical techniques to isolate and identify communication signals present in environmental samples
Epibiont community interactions on phytoplankton, in particular, Trichodesmium species
The role of bacterial biofilms in the establishment of marine biofouling communities
