\"\"My laboratory (the Microbial Adaptation & Evolution Lab<\/strong>) investigates how microbial communities assemble, adapt, and evolve in response to environmental stressors and host interactions. Using plant-associated microbiomes (such as the phyllosphere) and synthetic microbial communities as model systems, we explore the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving colonization resistance, priority effects, and microbiome resilience.<\/p>\n

In addition, we integrate multi-omics approaches such as amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenomics with experimental evolution and molecular genetics to uncover how microbial traits and community-level functions respond to changing environments. Prospective undergraduate and graduate students interested in microbial ecology, genomics, or bioinformatics are encouraged to reach out via email.<\/p>\n
