In the lab of Dr. J Vaun McArthur at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, I've had the opportunity to work on projects in a variety of fields. Research involving natural bacterial communities and other aspects of microbial biology are the broad categories under which most of my work has fallen.

On occasion, I've provided artistic assistance when original drawings have been needed for presentation or publication of research findings. Take a look at a few drawings created for publication by clicking here.

 

Projects
• Indirect Selection for Antibiotic Resistance in Coastal Oceans

• Indirect selection for antibiotic-resistant bacteria by heavy metal exposure
