Christina Kaiser

Christina Kaiser joined the Ecology and Evolution (EEP) Program as a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in December 2011. She is working on a joint project of the EEP and the Ecosystem Services and Management (ESM) Program focusing on a soil carbon and nitrogen cycling model that is based on competitive and synergistic interactions between soil microbes belonging to different microbial functional groups in a spatially structured system.

Dr. Kaiser studied ecology at the University of Vienna, where she received her master’s degree in 2003 and her PhD in 2010. Her main fields of scientific interest are carbon and nutrient cycling in plant-soil systems, the link between soil microbial community structure and function, and ecological modeling as a key for a more mechanistic understanding of soil decomposition processes.
