My research is driven by a deep interest in the dynamic interactions between plants, soils, and microbes. I explore how these processes evolve across different spatial and temporal contexts, with an emphasis on connecting molecular-level mechanisms to field-scale patterns. Much of my work centers on leguminous agroecological systems, which offer both ecological benefits and climate-related challenges. Legumes, for example, support agroecosystem resilience through biological nitrogen fixation but can also contribute to elevated N2O emissions. My goal is to inform the design of cropping systems that are productive, sustainable, and resilient to environmental stress.

Mitigation techniques to offset CO2 and N2O emissions.

Strategies to promote agroecological resilience.

Ecological and climate impacts of leguminous plant-based food production.

Mechanistic understanding of hotspot formation and persistence.

Soil organic matter formation and persistence in agricultural soils. 

Microbial ecology of carbon and nitrogen cycling in soil. 

Advanced isotopic techniques with 14C/13C/15N triple labeling.  

Compound-specific stable isotope probing.
