- Research interests
-
I am an evolutionary biologist interested in understanding how organisms adapt to novel environments by combining cutting-edge genomic techniques, ecological analyses and experimental approaches. A majority of my research is currently focused on rapid adaptation in the grass family, the most economically and ecologically important group of plants.
My research has three main themes:
- The evolutionary consequences of lateral gene transfer in grasses.
- Pan-genome variation and local adaptation in grasses.
- The impact of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) on grass evolution.
