Statement：
My research addresses the origins and evolution of tree diversity, using the tools of molecular systematics and genomics. Current research in our Lab focuses on walnuts (Juglans, Juglandaceae), and the use of phylogenetic and trait diversity to inform questions in speciation and adaptation. I am also interested in plant mating system evolution, and will do some field and lab experiments to consider joint effects of mating system and life history.
