My research involves fieldwork, greenhouse studies, the laboratory, and computational expertise. See below for examples of the types of questions I explore:
The role of plants and microbes during landscape terraformation
What are the feedbacks between plants, microbes, and the environment during the earliest days of landscape formation?
How do pathogens contribute to rainforest diversity along a precipitation gradient?
How can microbes contribute to salt marsh resilience under climate change?
A new area of research that I will engage in at UB and use to create undergraduate research opportunities.
