Stefan Dyksma

Dr. Stefan Dyksma is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Applied Sciences Emden/Leer, Faculty of Technology, within the Department of Natural Science Technology. His research focuses on microbial ecology, particularly in anoxic environments, and the physiological diversity of uncultured microbes. He employs cutting-edge techniques such as single-cell genomics, metagenomics, and radio-isotope probing to study microbial community functions.

Education:

• PhD (2016): Molecular Ecology, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology & University of Bremen
