My interests lie at the interface of ecology and evolution. How do the molecular and physiological pathways of organisms shape their ecology, and how does selection imposed by interactions with other organisms and the environment ultimately shape their genomes?
Current and planned projects include:
- The genomic basis of salinity adaptation in the model legume Medicago truncatula [see mt.usc.edu]
- The pan-genomic basis of nickel adaptation in wild Mesorhizobium
- Systems biology of cooperation and conflict in the legume-rhizobium symbiosis
- Structure and function of the Medicago microbiome
