Department of Botany and Plant Pathology

• Ecology, molecular genetics and evolutionary biology
• Genomics, metagenomics and transcriptomics

My research is primarily aimed at development of molecular methods for measuring the biological effects of emerging technologies. Projects have focused on the impacts of biotechnology, high potency herbicides/pesticides and engineered nanomaterials. Additional collaborations are related to microbial source tracking and molecular adaptations of endosymbiotic marine microalgae and invertebrate hosts.

I am currently working with postdocs from OSU departments of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology, and Integrative Biology.
