Benjamin Bolduc

Benjamin Bolduc studies viruses found in the environment, especially those that infect bacteria and archaea in places like the ocean and Arctic permafrost. His work combines genomics (studying the genetic material of viruses and microbes) with computational tools and machine learning to classify viruses, detect new ones from sequencing data, and understand how they affect microbial communities and nutrient cycles. Students in this area would likely work on building or applying bioinformatics software alongside analyzing large-scale environmental sequencing datasets.

Publication output was relatively steady to high from 2017-2020, dipped somewhat in recent years (2023-2024), with a slight uptick in 2025-2026, suggesting a slowing but still active publication pace over the last decade.
