• Microbial biofilms on biochar particles (Smyrna, DE)
• Interspecies interactions in coastal biofilms: naturally occurring microbes colonizing an artificial substrate (Salem, MA)
• Interspecies communication on sulfur-containing minerals (Sulfolobus solfataricus)
• Microbial effects on weathered concrete (with Thomas Schumacher, CEE)
