I am an ecological geneticist with a broad interest in plant adaptation. I study the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms by which plants cope with, and adapt to, rapidly changing environments.
My research uses genetic and genomic tools and applies them in ecologically relevant contexts in order to understand how plant populations respond to changing environments. One of my research interests is in ecological epigenetics: what role does epigenetic variation play in ecology and microevolution? Other topics that I work on include genetic and ecological aspects of plant invasions, the evolutionary ecology of asexually reproducing plants, intraspecific variation in plant-microbiome interactions, and urban evolution in plants.
