My research explores the dynamic interplay between microbiology, environmental engineering, and public health, with a focus on indoor environmental quality in diverse and extreme settings. I am particularly interested in understanding how microbial communities in built environments, such as homes and spacecraft, are influenced by environmental conditions, material properties, and human activity. My work integrates advanced techniques, including microbial sequencing and predictive modeling, to address challenges like microbial growth control, disease surveillance, and allergen detection. By leveraging findings from studies of Earth-based and space habitats, I aim to develop sustainable strategies that improve public health infrastructure, mitigate health risks, and inform the design of healthy, efficient living spaces for both terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications.
