Research Interests
My professional interests lie in population genomics of domesticated plants and their associated pathogens. I will be working on assessing the direction and role of interspecific gene flow in fungi from the genus Zymoseptoria. Also, I will analyze the degree of parallel evolution between the wheat and barley pathogens, Z. tritici and Z. passerinii, respectively.
