Laboratory projects include techniques in: visualizing and quantifying the energetics of electron flow in model bacterial systems (i.e. Shewanella), utilizing high through-put genetic techniques (i.e. Tn-seq) to identify genes involved in Extracellular Electron Transfer (EET) in sediment microbes, and testing electron transfer in model microbial communities that make methane through electrochemistry and anaerobic culturing. This position will focus on the later area, with specific interest in growing the metal reducing microbe Geobacter metalirreducens and methanogens within the Methanosarcinales. Opportunities for learning genetic techniques and electrochemistry will be provided. Mentoring of undergraduates will also be encouraged.
