My current research includes: 1) exploring the dynamics of foodborne pathogens in pre-harvest ecosystems of fresh produce; 2) using next-generation sequencing approaches to understand the interactions between foodborne pathogens and the indigenous microbiota in certain environments, including fresh produce and pre-harvest environments, as well as within food processing facilities; and 3) understanding the effect of environmental factors on pathogen persistence in food or food-related systems.
Fun Fact: I love exploring new places and cultures through travel and cuisine, finding joy in discovering unique flavors and recreating them in my own kitchen.
