Research Overview
I am broadly interested in the relationship between anatomy and physiology. In previous positions I have researched the ways that succulence influences water relations and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), with a focus on the tropical genus, Clusia. At Cambridge, I am exploring how mesophyll anatomy influences the movement of CO2 through leaves.
