I am an associate senior lecturer at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in the Department of Forest Mycology and Plant Pathology. I am studying the evolution of fungal symbiosis from macroevolutionary and genomic perspectives.
Before starting my position at SLU I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Rosling group at Uppsala University where I studied the genomics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and Archaeorhizomycetes.
Previously I was a postdoc in the Hibbett lab at Clark University where I studied the evolution of morphological and nutritional traits in Agaricomycetes.
I am broadly interested in the systematics and evolution of fungi, and particularly interested in the evolution of fungal symbiosis.
