RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research focuses on revealing the mechanisms of plant-soil-microbe interactions in natural as well as in contaminated soils. My work specifically focuses on

  1. Development and application of sampling techniques to collect root exudates from soil grown plants and the implementation of novel analytical approaches for root exudate analysis.
  2. Investigating fate and function of root exudates, including microbial decomposition dynamics and exudate-driven solubilisation of macro- and micronutrients
  3. Development and application of growth and imaging techniques (e.g. DGT, planar optodes) for in-situ visualization of rhizosphere processes.
  4. Bioavailability of pollutants in soil including risk assessment
