Research and Personal Info
I'm a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Genetics Graduate Group at UC Davis, and a member of the Jasieniuk lab in the Department of Plant Sciences. My dissertation research is on the evolution of invasiveness in blackberry (Rubus), particularly relating to hybridization and asexual reproduction. I have also written some software in R for the analysis of polyploid data. In the summer of 2011 I plan to start my postdoctoral work with Erik Sacks at the University of Illinois, studying the population genetics of Miscanthus and other bioenergy grasses.
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.
