Expertise
  1. The main emphasis of my research program is geared toward unraveling stress tolerance mechanisms in plant species.
  2. The second area of interest is related to the investigation of the phylogeny and biogeography of Castanea species.
  3. Understanding the genetic information present within crops provides insights into plant evolution and new tools for crop improvement.
  4. Another area of interest has been to use bioluminescence for the identification of phytopathogens and plant disease control agents in epidemiological studies.
