  Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)

  My dissertation research focused on the molecular basis of thermoregulation in Pseudomonas syringae. Using a combination of molecular genetics

  RNAseq

  whole genome resequencing

  qRT-PCR

  quantitative single cell fluorescent microscopy

  and culture based assays

  I was able to describe several temperature-dependent phenotypes and the genetics underpinning such temperature regulation.

  My research program focuses on how organismal and molecular interactions affect the ecology and evolution of plant pathogens.

  I'm interested in the evolution and ecology of plant-associated bacteria

  as well as the capture and co-option of bacteriophage by their bacterial hosts. I utilize the model organism

  Pseudomonas syringae to study interbacterial competition among closely related strains

  including those mediated by a bacteriophage-derived toxin.
