SoWa Research Infrastructure was merged into the Institute of Soil Biology and Biogeochemistry of the Biological Centre of the CAS, v. v. i.. No further updates will be performed on this website.
I am a research assistant at the SoWa Institute and a PhD student at the department of Ecosystem biology, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice with the supervision of Dr. Travis Meador. I have long-term work experiences as a student assistant at the Institute MARUM (Center for Marine Environmental Science, Bremen, Germany) in the Workgroup of organic Geochemistry lead by Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Hinrichs. My main interests are reconstructing Paleoenvironments by applying microbial membrane biomarkers and analysing microbial activity and metabolism by applying Stable Isotope Probing (SIP) experiments. I have experience in analysing these biomarkers on different techniques, such as GC-FID/MS/IRMS, LC-QToF-MS, QQQ and FTICR-MS. Also developing new methods for analysing biomarkers with different techniques takes a big part of my working experience. My research focuses in determining and quantifying fungal C-turnover rates and mechanisms in subsurface ecosystems by applying dual stable isotope probing (δ13C + δ2H) analysing the membrane biomarkers.
