Passionate and driven microbiologist specializing in bioinformatics. I got my Ph.D. from the Technical University of Denmark and focused on the quantitative ecology of Bacilli and associated soil microorganisms. Currently, my postdoctoral projects integrate laboratory and computational methods to construct plant-growth-promoting synthetic communities.
