My research interests are spread throughout many disciplines of Biology (such as Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology, Genetics, Ecology and Evolution).
However, they share scientific problems that can be tested through the design of experiments which involve:
Physical quantities that can be well quantified
Observations that can be described by the language of science, i.e. mathematics
Currently I am interested in the biology of algae and more specifically I am working with an order within the green algae called the Volvocales. This taxon includes species such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Volvox carteri.
