Academic Interests

My main research interests fall within the areas of fungal molecular ecology and evolution. My research focuses include: 

  • Fungal community ecology
  • Fungal phenology and global change
  • Fungal population genetics/genomics
  • Evolutionary genomics of fungi
  • Forest ecology and management
  • Development of DNA metabarcoding methods
  • Long-read sequencing of fungal diversity
