About Harry

I am an interdisciplinary microbial ecologist with experience in molecular genetics, environmental genomics and microbial ecology. I utilise these methods to understand how microorganisms interact with their environment to influence agricultural and environmental processes, focusing on soil microbial communities. My research spans microbial ecology, environmental monitoring and applied genomics, with a strong emphasis on providing mechanistic understanding relevant to applications in land management, environmental policy and industry.
