Eco-evolutionary dynamics of host–microbiome interactions

I study how microbial communities interact with their hosts and environments, integrating microbial ecology, evolution, and genomics to understand how microbiomes assemble, adapt, and influence host biology.
My work combines experimental evolution, multi-omics, and computational approaches to uncover the mechanisms shaping microbiome stability and function across ecosystems.

Research Themes

🧬 Microbiome Assembly & Host Interactions

How do microbiomes assemble and interact with their hosts?

  • Host ↔ microbiome feedback (gene expression and selection)

  • Microbe–microbe interactions and community stability

  • Priority effects and community assembly dynamics

​​

🌱 Environmental & Evolutionary Microbiology

How do environmental changes shape microbiomes?

  • Microbial adaptation under environmental stress

  • Stability and resilience of microbial communities

  • Synthetic communities to study ecological processes

⚔️ Host–Pathogen Coevolution

How do hosts, microbiomes, and pathogens coevolve?

  • Red Queen dynamics and antagonistic evolution

  • Co-infection and pathogen–pathogen interactions

  • Microbiome-mediated disease resistance
