Motivated to get involved? I am looking for students!
 
 
I am a Nebraska native, completing two horticulture and chemistry bachelor degrees (2000), and my biology masters (2005) at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I then jumped the pond to do my PhD at the University of Heidelberg, Germany, where I joined a Brassicaceae group with Marcus A. Koch in biodiversity and systematics. After the completion of my PhD (2009), and driven to study polyploidy in plants, I spent two wonderful years with Pam and Doug Soltis on Team Trag (2010-2012). The model system of Tragopogon is a spectacular set of data to work with, and so was the team. In the fall of 2012, I moved to the Bay Area, California, where I am now a Research Botanist at the University and Jepson Herbaria at UC-Berkeley. I am currently in the writing phase of my post-doctoral years, and seeking funding to continue my research. My proposed research aims to explore questions regarding speciation processes in arctic and alpine polyploid plant species. The biological system of my studies is the Brassicaceae genus, Draba L., which is a highly diverse polyploid complex distributed in the arctic, subarctic, and alpine regions of the world.
