About me

Hi, my name is Zoey. I recently completed my PhD in the Bhatnagar Lab and Dietze Lab at Boston University, where I studied the ecology of the soil microbiome, using tools from bioinformatics, Bayesian statistics, and synthetic biology. I developed short-term microbial abundance forecasts at a continental scale, as well as fine-scale predictions of soil nutrient cycling. I’m interested in using the power of microbial communities to solve the biggest problems facing humans and our planet.

My graduate work was funded by a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation, as well as a Microbiome Fellowship from the Boston University Microbiome Initiative.
