Research Interests
Population genetics /
genomics, Evolutionary genetics and physiology, Biological timing, Phenology Research in my lab focuses on two separate,
though related questions through a combination of modern molecular approaches and the interpretation of physiological, evolutionary, and ecological contexts: (1) How does the environment interact with the genome
to control developmental and physiological processes? (2) How does the
evolution of these interactions allow for the proliferation of organisms across
diverse environments throughout the temperate zone?
