Research Interests
Transport and Signaling in Plants - Quantitative Approaches
The cells of a plant can exchange dozens of different chemical
signals, through which they coordinate growth, development, and responses to stresses
like drought and herbivory. My research focuses on biophysical and biochemical
aspects of signaling in plants. Computer simulations, biophysical theory, and
microscope investigations are used to quantify signal movement and action.
