Biography
I am interested in the ecology of plant-pollinator interactions and the genetics of flower adaptation. In the past, I have studied the genes controlling several floral traits, like scents, shapes, and colours using monkeyflower (Mimulus) as the study system. I received my academic training in the US and I am currently working as a faculty member in a liberal arts college in Pennsylvania. I am in Cambridge for my sabbatical and I will stay with Dr. Glover’s Evolution and Development research group.
