My main research interests are in the fields of benthic ecology and biogeochemistry of extreme environments (cold seeps, hydrothermal vents, polar systems, hadal trenches), marine carbon cycle, as well as in situ sensor and technology developments. The major research goal is to carry out comparative analysis of different benthic habitats to understand how environmental conditions at the seafloor are reflected in element cycling, solute and energy fluxes, and in the shaping of benthic communities.
