In 2008 I completed in 2008 a PhD in Microbiology (with specialization in Microbial Ecology) at the UMR CNRS 6143 at the University of Rouen, France. In 2013 I was appointed as a Research Fellow at the Centre for Microbial Ecology and Genomics (CMEG), University of Pretoria. I am currently leading the Namib Desert Microbial Ecology scientific research program and intend to apply my analytical skills (specifically those pertaining to sediments) to the analyses of ancient anthropogenic sediments.
