I am an assistant professor in the Section of Plant Biology at the University of California, Davis. My Lab studies plant / environment interactions, with an emphasis on how plant development changes in response to the light environment.

One of the things that I enjoy about being in Davis is close proximity to the Sierra. For photos of some of some of my adventures there and elsewhere, please visit my simple photo gallery.
