Research Interests
In the last few years I have developed research interests in the broad areas of plant evolutionary genetics and in bioinformatics. Within the area of plant evolution my major interest is in the role that epistatic interactions play in plant populations. I have an additional collaboration to characterize the evolution of the insect-eating pitcher plants. My interests in bioinformatics grew out of my interests in evolution. One project is concerned with predicting RNA pseudoknot structures from sequence data; a second project is related to using phylogenetic trees to study gene family evolution. |
