Expertise

Research: Plant health issues growers face within agricultural ecosystems are complex and dynamic.

I am particularly interested in studying fungal and oomycete interactions with bacteria at the seed and seedling stage of plant development. I am also interested in understanding how agricultural management systems and inputs alter the complexity and resiliency within microbial communities.
