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
