Research Interests
Focusing on the intersection of air forensics, genomics, and plant pathology to solve real-world biological challenges.
Air Forensics & eDNA
Combining human and non-human environmental DNA (eDNA) to read the stories the air carries, identifying pathogens and biological materials.
Plant Pathology & Genomics
Investigating the genomic features and molecular mechanisms underlying pathogenicity of pathogens like Diaporthe amygdali on peach trees.
Bioinformatics
Utilizing next-generation and third-generation sequencing, genome annotation, structural annotation, and phylogenetic analysis to understand organisms.
