Positions
- Professor & Extension Specialist, Plant Pathology and Microbiology, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
- Associate Professor & Extension Specialist, Plant Pathology and Microbiology, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
I conduct translational studies that address immediate and long-term needs of growers and other stakeholders involved in the production of fruit and vegetable crops. My research program emphasizes virus discovery and characterization, genetic diversity and population genetics studies, and understanding of disease epidemiology. The overarching goal is to utilize the results of these studies to develop science-based disease management strategies.
