Areas of Interest

My research is centered on translational research of soil-borne fungi that cause crop diseases. More specifically, I am interested in questions related to understanding the ecology and epidemiology of soil-associated fungi and oomycetes and enhancing host disease resistance to improve management. I am also passionate about teaching using learner-centered and inclusive teaching strategies.
