Biography

​My research focuses on the eco-physiological responses of phytoplankton to global climate change. Current interests include:

1): Investigating the thermal adaptations of phytoplankton to global warming in Red Sea

2): Investigating the underlying mechanisms for the thermal adaptation of phytoplankton in Red Sea​

Research Interests

Biological Oceanography, Ocean Change Biology, Experimental Evolution, Marine Ecology
