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
