Research: My lab uses molecular genetic and genomic tools to understand the biological processes regulating secondary growth and wood formation. We use the model genus, Populus, for most of our research.

Research: My research is primarily in conservation genetics and evolutionary biology, specifically, (1) the conservation genetics and mating systems of rare Mexican spruces and pinon pines and (2) the recent evolutionary history and biogeography of Californian conifers. A line of research that is of secondary interest is provenance and progeny testing of eucalypt species for renewable biomass energy crops on abandoned agricultural land in California.
