BIO
I am an evolutionary ecologist. Research in our group aims to understand plant evolution and resilience in respose to interactions with animals and environmental factors. We use fieldwork, greenhouse experiments, and quantitative genomic approaches in our work. Currently we are particularly interested in flower evolution and pollination.
