Sean Darcy

Sean Darcy is a researcher affiliated with the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science and the Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Science. His work focuses on soil microbial ecology, lipid biomarker analysis, and microbial community dynamics.

• Active research areas: Soil Microbial Ecology, Glycolipid/Phospholipid Fatty Acids, and Microbial Networks
• Collaborated on 3 peer-reviewed publications (2022-2024) in journals like ISME Journal and Soil Biology and Biochemistry
• Contributed to a 2020 oral presentation on soil lipid analysis protocols

His research explores microbial community responses to organic matter variations in soil aggregates, employing advanced lipid extraction techniques to refine microbial profiling.

Scientific collaborations include partnerships with Stefan Gorka, Christina Kaiser, and other soil science experts.
