I am interested in the intersection between genomics, agriculture and ecology. My goal is to examine complex interactions so that everyone can work toward creating food systems that are more productive and sustainable. Currently my research broadly focuses on the breeding and genetics of vegetable crops through the use of crop wild relatives.
