My work mainly focuses on establishing novel mineral proxies to track sulfur cycle dynamics in deep time, notably carbonate-associated sulfate (CAS). This system, alongside the robust yet infrequent barite record, potentially represents a powerful way to track sulfur and oxygen isotope behavior in order to constrain marine chemistry in the past. Additionally, I have started some culture work with the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris, and am currently investigating the evolution of its isotope-fractionating metabolism.
