Research Projects/Interests

My research combines knowledge from the fields of Evolution, Genetics and Genomics, Developmental Biology, and Ecology to understand how biological diversity has evolved on Earth. In order to understand these processes, I focus on the plant genus Aquilegia (columbine). Research in my lab involves wet lab experiments, bioinformatic analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data, and field work. More information can be found at my lab website. If interested in conducting research in my lab, please contact me via email.
