My research on PROTISTS encompasses three major pillars
Species diversity, ultrastructure and molecular systematics and includes
- description of new species of microalgae using light and electron microscopy, pigment profile and phylogenetic inference
- molecular tools for identification and enumeration of harmful algae
Ecology of marine and freshwater microalgae to environmental settings and includes
- acclimation to changes in temperature, salinity and pH
- growth rate estimation based on chlorophyll a readings and standard curves
Evolutionary history of protists and includes
- morphological and biochemical character trait mapping on phylogenetic trees
- chloroplast evolution
