My research focuses on community and global change ecology, examining how ecological interactions respond to biotic and abiotic drivers through mechanisms such as plasticity, evolution, and mobile genetic elements. I work across terrestrial and aquatic systems, integrating experiments, field observations, statistical analysis, and modeling. Currently, I study host-microbe-plasmid systems to explore how multilayer network structures and eco-evolutionary feedbacks shape host coexistence, plasmid persistence, and the spread of infectious diseases and antibiotic resistance. By linking network theory with empirical data, my work advances predictive understanding of community dynamics and evolutionary potential.
