Michael Dills

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of Norway. As a researcher I try to work across the fields of ecology and molecular biology. This has led me to study the ecology of Arctic marine diatoms, methane oxidizing bacteria, and their associated microbial communities, with the goal of bridging genotypic and phenotypic data to understand interactions at a dynamic level. My life in Tromsø includes all the perks and pitfalls of life above the Arctic circle and affords me the opportunity to enjoy its varied seasons and unique nature.
