In my PhD research, I study how microorganisms interact metabolically during hydrocarbon biodegradation in soil and wastewater environments. To achieve this, I use genome-scale metabolic modeling to represent the collective enzymatic activity of microbial communities. By integrating these models with monitored data, I can simulate community functions and uncover the molecular mechanisms and metabolic exchanges that drive efficient hydrocarbon biodegradation.
