 | | My research interests can be divided into three intertwining areas: (1) Organismal studies focused on the systematics of gymnosperms; (2) the theory and practice of phylogenetic analysis; and (3) the application of information technology to morphological, anatomical, DNA barcoding, and molecular systematic studies (bioinformatics). |
 | | I am most interested in conducting research that integrates data from traditional (e.g., anatomical, developmental, morphological) and contemporary (e.g., DNA sequence, gene expression) sources to elucidate phylogenetic patterns and understand character evolution. |
 | | Currently, much of my research focuses on Cupressaceaeóa family of conifers that includes redwoods (Metasequoia, Sequoia, and Sequoiadendron), arborvitae (Thuja), junipers (Juniperus), and cypress (Callitropsis and Cupressus). |
