(particularly of monocots) and the evolutionary-developmental biology of flowers. She has 45 first/senior papers (out of 70 total papers) in high quality journals, including Science. Current NSF funding includes: "Resolving an ancient radiation: gingers,
fossils and phylogenies" and "Arbor; a toolkit for comparative biology across the tree of life".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
