Research interest:
My main research topics are cold-water coral reefs and deep-sea sponge grounds in the Atlantic Ocean. Questions/issues I am currently studying are for example: quantifying the benthic biogeochemical fluxes of these ecosystems and identifying possible food sources for corals and sponges in the deep-sea.
In my PhD project, I am interested in the interaction between biological systems and their environment. By combining experimental work, such as measurement of benthic fluxes, ecological-biogeochemical modelling, and environmental data I try to understand how cold-water coral reefs and sponge grounds can thrive in a food-limited environment as the deep-sea and their fate in light of a changing ocean.
My PhD project is part of the EU Horizon 2020 ATLAS project (www.eu-atlas.org).
