Research Interests

Gaining microscopic insight into the internal structure and biology of sea-ice has traditionally been limited to destructive and extrusive ice-core sampling methods. To make progress in the exploration of sea-ice micro-habitats, and in the study of sea-ice microorganisms with minimal disturbance, we are developing an innovative in-situ microscopic imaging system inspired by medical endoscopes to observe the living microorganisms directly within sea-ice. I have always been interested in environmental research and how can engineers like myself can give the scientific better tools to not only understand but also to predict the impact of environmental changes. The interdisciplinary aspect of my project drives me to share knowledge and experience with scientists from different fields.
