Research Interests
I came to the Peters' lab from the Institute of Basic Biological Problems of RAS, Pushchino, Russia. I am working on the structural characterization of stable hydrogenases from phototrophic bacteria and their role in the detoxification of metal ions in bacteria cells. I am also involved in the characterization of Ni-nano particles, which stable hydrogenases produced under hydrogen atmosphere. I like hiking and traveling in Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, around Bozeman and Montana.
