Research Assistant Professor & Bioinformatics Manager, Center for Research Informatics, University of Chicago
Former Post-Doctoral Researcher

In general, my research interests include the evolution of genotype-by-environment interactions and data analysis. My work in the Juenger lab focuses on the genetic architecture of plant tolerance. The primary goals of my research are to understand how tolerance changes in response to different environments and to identify genes associated with tolerance using the model species Brachypodium distachyon. My dissertation work focused on the role of phenotypic plasticity in biotic invasions, and I plan to balance both applied and theoretical work in my current and future endeavors.
