I am an ecologist and evolutionary biologist primarily interested in interactions between plants and other organisms, especially when those interactions are symbiotic (i.e. the associated organisms spend a significant portion of their lives in close physical contact with host plant tissues). A major theme of my ongoing research projects is an examination of the ways in which plants influence their symbionts by manipulating the abiotic properties of their leaf micro-environments. For my investigations, I utilize a wide array of techniques and approaches, including field observation, manipulative experiments, phylogenetic comparative methods, DNA metabarcoding, transcriptomics, and metatranscriptomics.
