Curious on microbes; who they are, how they live and interact - and how we can learn from them to create a sustainable future! I started my PhD by studying microbiomes in anaerobic digesters (magic microbial fabrics converting waste into energy) and have in the recent years moved over to more furry and 'moo-y' digesters; ruminants.

I am also trying to keep track on my bioinformatic pipelines and codes, both for my own sake and to keep my research transparant and reproducable. If interested, take a swing by my github page (still in the infancy).
