Short presentation
I am interested in the hidden biodiversity of microbes and their interactions and evolution. I am especially fascinated about fungi and the lichen symbiosis, their organismal composition and evolution.
I also collaborate with Anna Rosling to study Archaeorhizomycetes, the understudied class of diverse and abundant soil fungi. I study their diversity in soil as well as life cycle and physical interactions with roots and ectomycorrhizal fungi in situ in boreal forest rhizosphere.
Research
In my research I aim to link genomic data (eDNA long-read metabarcoding, whole genome sequencing, single-cell genomics) with advanced microscopy data (FISH-CLSM, SEM, TEM). I work with complex natural samples of non-model organisms and experiment with finding new methods to study and describe the lichen symbiosis.
