Hey there!
I am an Ecology Ph.D. candidate in the labs of Johan Leveau and Rachel Vannette at UC Davis. I study microbial community assembly in seeds. In particular, I am interested in how various processes contribute to microbial transmission between floral stigmas and developing seeds across spatial scales. In the long-term, I aim to study microbial community assembly processes across the seed life cycle, document the microbial diversity of seed communities, and relate assembly outcomes to seedling health. I am an NSF Graduate Research Fellow and a UC Davis Dean's Distinguished Graduate Fellow. Please get in touch with me if you have questions about my work! |
