Research Focus: Josephine's work examines:
- Geomicrobiology of animal-sediment interactions in tropical deltaic environments
- Microbial dynamics at the sea-air boundary and aerosol transfer mechanisms
- Development of biosensor technology for marine microbial monitoring
- Transmission of human enteric viruses in marine coastal ecosystems
Collaborations include partnerships with researchers at University of Louisiana, University of Hawaii, Australian Institute of Marine Science, and Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI).
Recent Publications highlight her work on cable bacteria interactions, sea spray aerosol composition, electrogenic microbial networks, and sedimentary enzyme activities. Her research integrates field studies in French Guiana, Gulf of Papua, and Long Island coastal zones.
Educational Leadership: Coordinates the NSF-sponsored undergraduate research experience (REU) program at SoMAS, hosting 8 U.S. students annually.
