Research Interests
I love exploring unique relationships between microbes in complex communities and understanding how engineering decisions influent microbial behaviors. I predominantly work with wastewater nitrification, but have experience with carbon cycling in wetland microbial communities, extremophiles from hotsprings, microbial communities on drinking water granular activated carbon biofilters, and iron cycling microbial communities.
Why Queer Ms Frizzle?
It’s a loving moniker given to me from past high school students after years of LGTBQ+ high school outreach.
Dr. Juliet Johnston (she/they) is an ASEE eFellows Postdoctoral Researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying the transcriptomic expression of nitrifying bacteria in engineered environments with Dr. Ameet Pinto.
