I am an Agricultural Scientist in the Department of Plant Pathology and Ecology at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven, CT, where I run a laboratory dedicated to research on bacterial diseases and beneficial microbes affecting crops in Connecticut and around the world. My research program is focused on understanding the basic mechanisms of disease on plants, but we also hope to translate our findings into new methods for disease management and diagnosis.
