I am a postdoc studying the genetic diversity and population structure of ''Miscanthus'', a perennial grass being developed as a bioenergy crop, under [http://cropsci.illinois.edu/directory/esacks Dr. Erik Sacks] at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.


I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in the [[UC Davis Genetics Graduate Group|Genetics Graduate Group at UC Davis]], and a member of the [[Jasieniuk]] lab in the Department of Plant Sciences.  My research interest is in the evolution of invasiveness in plants through hybridization.  My study organism is Himalayan blackberry, an introduced species from Europe is highly invasive on the West Coast and is known to hybridize with native and other introduced species.
I recently finished my Ph.D. (September 2011) in the [[UC Davis Genetics Graduate Group|Genetics Graduate Group at UC Davis]] as a member of the [[Jasieniuk]] lab in the Department of Plant Sciences.  My dissertation research was on the evolution of invasiveness in blackberry (''Rubus''), particularly relating to hybridization and asexual reproduction.  I have also written software in R for the analysis of polyploid data.

In my spare time I enjoy playing trombone, knitting, and spending time outdoors.  I am a native of Southern Maine, and am having a good time in California but am not entirely seduced by the weather yet.

Research and Personal Info

I am a postdoc studying the genetic diversity and population structure of Miscanthus, a perennial grass being developed as a bioenergy crop, under Dr. Erik Sacks at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

I recently finished my Ph.D. (September 2011) in the Genetics Graduate Group at UC Davis as a member of the Jasieniuk lab in the Department of Plant Sciences. My dissertation research was on the evolution of invasiveness in blackberry (Rubus), particularly relating to hybridization and asexual reproduction. I have also written software in R for the analysis of polyploid data.

I graduated from Dartmouth College in 2004, having majored in Genetics, Cell & Developmental Biology and minored in Chemistry. From June 2002 to June 2004 I did my undergraduate thesis research in Thomas Jack's lab, where I worked on developing knockout mutants for a gene family putatively involved in floral development in Arabidopsis.

From November 2004 - July 2006 I worked at the Grape Genetics Research Unit in Geneva, NY. Under the direction of Amanda Garris, I worked on gene cloning and QTL mapping towards an understanding of light detection and winter dormancy in grapevine.
