Combines molecular biology, genetics, and ecology to unravel mysteries in plant biology. Uses quantitative genetics and innovative field experiments to examine ecologically important plant traits such as flowering and shade avoidance. Through work on Arabidopsis thaliana in Europe, explored molecular mechanisms underlying natural variation in environmental signal integration.
