Research

My research is focused on cereal leaf rusts and Fusarium head blight. Research areas include genetics and molecular mapping of host resistance genes, molecular mechanisms of fungal pathogenicity and virulence, plant-fungal interactions, and population genetics of plant fungal pathogens. 

In my time at the University of Minnesota I hope to mitigate the impact of cereal diseases on crop production.
