About me

My research interests lie in biodiversity genomics, with a particular focus on symbiotic systems such as lichens. I use data from natural history collections to study how genomes evolve in structure and function, and how genomic data can be used to understand species evolution, diversification, and adaptation.

I am the Director of the Phylogenomics Initiative of the Grainger Bioinformatics Center at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Until 2016, I was a postdoctoral researcher at The Field Museum and until 2014 a postdoc in Jeff Mower's lab at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I received my PhD in 2011 from the University of Bonn in Germany with Volker Knoop as my advisor.
