Unraveling Bacterial Pathways in the Metabolism of Complex Carbon Feedstocks: From Natural Carbon Cycling to Engineered Carbon Recycling

The Research Group of Dr. Aristilde combines experimental techniques with computational simulations to probe the mechanisms of environmental organic processes, with the goal of guiding the prediction or engineering of these processes for carbon and nutrient cycling and recycling.

They address research questions at the interfaces of environmental chemistry, environmental health, and environmental biotechnology. We seek to gain novel molecular insights into the mechanisms that control the dynamic fate of organic nutrients, biomacromolecules, and organic contaminants.
