Personal profile

Research interests

One gram of soil contains over a million microorganisms, yet much of their function remains unknown. Stephanie started studying soil microbes during her PhD at Michigan State University, and continued as a postdoc at Los Alamos National Lab, and scientist at the Joint BioEnergy Institute (USA). Since joining the University of Vienna in 2012, she has been investigating soil microorganisms (Acidobacteriota) via cultivation, ‘omics methods and metabolic process measurements. She is currently exploring atmospheric gas oxidation as a means of survival during periods of energy limitation, as well as factors governing the use of different terminal oxidases in soil microbes, which may underpin their physiological flexibility.
