Biography
Professor,Faculty, Researcher plant Biology. Ph.D., Stanford University, Regulation of Plant Morphogenesis During Growth & Development ongoing researches and publications.collaborating with Lori Goldner (UMass Physics) to use single-molecule, live imaging techniques to investigate the mechanism of cellulose synthesis.
Research Interest
Using developmental genetics, isolating and characterizing mutants, in both Arabidopsis thaliana and Brachypodium distachyon, where the control of root shape has broken down. Second, because we use roots as experimental material, we also study growth in the root, seeking to understand the relationship between division and expansion.
