Scientific interests / research interests
Biotechnology–applications of biotechnology for monitoring biological processes, including molecular evolution, molecular taxonomy, and molecular ecology, and the use of DNA-based methods for population monitoring and species identification.
Myxozoan biology–myxozoans are obligate parasites found in many economically important fish species, including trout and salmon, and are known to cause serious morbidity in host fish species. Because of their complex life cycle involving multiple hosts, myxozoan taxonomy relies heavily on application of molecular taxonomic methods to link various life stages of the parasite.
Invasive species–invasive species are a growing threat to ecosystems worldwide, However, the ecological processes that allow some introduced species to dominate in the invaded habitat are poorly understood. My research focuses on applications of DNA technology to monitor biological invasions, and enable early detection of alien species in novel habitats.
Teaching-My pedagogy deals with aspects of genetics, both transmission and molecular, for investigating biological process, with both research and commercial applications
