معرفی
Dominic Eriksson is a junior scientist and PhD candidate at ETH Zurich. Employed since April 2020 under Dr. Meike Vogt, he is advancing species distribution modelling expertise. His upcoming PhD (starting April 2021) is a collaborative program between Prof. Nikolas Gruber (Department of Environmental Systems Sciences) and Prof. Shinichi Sunagawa (Department of Biology), focusing on Tara Oceans metagenomic data analysis.
Education: B.Sc. in Biology (Ecology focus) from University of Vienna; M.Sc. in Marine Biology from University of Algarve (2020). His master’s thesis revealed prokaryotic communities in gorgonian corals Eunicella labiata and developed cultivation protocols for their associated bacteria.
Research interests span marine biology, metagenomics, species distribution models, diazotroph ecology, and nitrogen cycling. His work bridges microbial communities with large-scale oceanographic patterns, emphasizing biogeographical and biogeochemical processes.
Publications focus on diazotroph diversity-nitrogen fixation relationships, global ocean biogeography, and statistical model validation. Collaborates with initiatives like Tara Oceans and AtlantECO, contributing to marine ecosystem understanding through data-driven approaches.
