Research Interests
I am interested in genetic processes driving rapid evolutionary change in weedy and invasive plants. I work on the molecular and population genetics of herbicide resistant weeds in agroecosystems, and the ecological genetics of invasive non-native plants. Current research projects in my lab focus on the genetics of resistance to the herbicides glyphosate and dicamba in Palmer amaranth and kochia, and on the fitness and invasive potential of hybrid toadflax populations.
