My research focuses on microbial symbioses, currently describing the ecology and co-evolution of deep-sea glass sponges (class Hexactinellida) and their microbiomes. I use metagenomic and phylogenetic analyses to explore how the diversity of these ancient animals and their microbial communities varies across global deep-sea habitats.
