Research statement: My research centers on ecosystem functioning, focusing on biological N fixation and overall N cycling in natural ecosystems. I mostly rely on biogeochemical frameworks, stable isotope analyses, and meta-analysis and synthesis efforts to answer my research questions. I am currently working on a multi-scale synthesis of N fixation rates and drivers across the terrestrial biosphere.
