Phoebe Mankiewicz's work strives to understand, illustrate, and develop upon the connections and disparities between “wild” and “anthropogenic” ecologies, especially those mediated by the soil-plant-air (and microbial) continuum. Her PhD research focuses on developing, testing, and implementing plant-based microbial ecosystem design strategies in the context of urban and indoor environmental quality bioremediation, microbiome biodiversity, and human health outcomes. This research has included many design and analytical processes, including parametric design and rapid prototyping, shotgun metagenomic microbiome analytic approaches to quantify rhizosphere diversity and metabolic potential, as well as GC-Mass Spec analysis to connect rhizosphere community metabolisms to measurable changes in indoor airstreams. Her objectives moving forward are to develop real-world applications of sustainable human-mediated ecological cycling practices through directed environmental pressure and interdisciplinary efforts to facilitate effective long-term environmental conservation and sustainability initiatives for built ecologies.
