Professor
Associate Dean for Research and Discovery, CALS

Research Description
My group develops computational systems and tools that enable researchers to leverage plant genetics and genomics information to better understand basic biology toward crop improvement. We work on gene function and phenotype prediction and coordinate activities to overcome challenges in plant phenomics. Although work by group members is across many plant species, maize our clear favorite.
