Description of Research

Summary Statement of Research Interests
My primary research interest is the genetic basis of adaptation. I would like to know more about the number and types of genetic differences that underlie adaptive differences, and understand their evolutionary dynamics. I use a combination of empirical and theoretical approaches, ranging from gene mapping in Arabidopsis thaliana, to the development of basic population genetics models.
