Tel.: ++1 (732) 932-6555 ext. 379
Fax.: ++1 (732) 932-4083
Research Interests: I am interested in the mechanisms
controlling phytoplankton
distribution in the ocean. We use two critical parameters namely
taxonomic composition
and cell size to determine both causes and consequences of
phytoplankton community
structure . My research includes from laboratory competition
experiments to global-scale
analyzes of phytoplankton distributions.
