My Skills

I possess extensive experience with a diverse array of mineralogical and microbial techniques and instruments. My proficiency includes:

1. Instrumental operation and data analysis: 

• Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS) 

• UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (UV-vis)

• X-ray Diffraction (XRD) 

• Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

• Gas Chromatography (GC)

• Ion Chromatography (IC) 

• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)

• Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

• Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR)

2. Data analysis: 

• X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) 

• Time-of-flight secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS)

• Transcriptomic data analysis from raw data using Linux and R. 

3. Laboratory Management and Equipment Mastery: 

• Manage the geomicrobiology lab

• Proficient use of anaerobic glove box, degassing station, fume hood, ultraclean working bench, shaker, water bath, incubator, and centrifuge

Resources for different techniques and data analysis. 

Useful textbooks: 

1. Analytical Geomicrobiology, by Janice P. L. Kenney, Harish Veeramani, and, Daniel S. Alessi. Cambridge University Press.
