Education and career

Lipp received her B.A. from the New College of Florida in 1994, and earned her Ph.D. in 1999 from the University of South Florida. After conducting postdoctoral work at the University of Maryland, College Park, Lipp moved to the University of Georgia in 2002, where she was promoted to professor in 2014. [1]

Research

Lipp is known for her work on aquatic marine microorganisms, where she focuses on pathogenic microbes and the influence of climate change on bacteria. Her early work examined factors the distribution of human pathogenic bacteria. [2] [3] She has examined how sewage impacts coral-reefs [4] [5] and the role of dust from the Sahara Desert in initiating growth of bacteria. [6] [7]

Selected publications

Awards and honors

In 2016 Lipp was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology. [8]
