My research interests focus on the interactions between viruses, their hosts and the environment from a One Health perspective. I am currently working on the impact of wildfire on soil viral communities and how this affects microbial functional capacity and activity. I have previously worked on the impacts of biosolids on soil viruses, wastewater-based epidemiology and the characterisation of terrestrial RNA viral communities.

I am investigating many aspects related to the chemistry of viruses: soil virus chemical composition, chemical drivers that influence the fate/transport of viruses, and virus-host metabolomics.
