Research Interest

My research interest is a more rigorous understanding of the relationships between the geosphere and the biosphere and their variability during the history of our planet. My research focus is Marine Geo-biology, particularly the history of the global oceans including paleo-ecology, paleo-biogeography and the evolution of calcareous marine microorganisms. In addition, I am developing innovative methods especially fully automated microscopes for identification, counting and morphometry of calcareous microorganisms.
