Research Interests

My research group studies how plants capture carbon dioxide for photosynthesis through tiny pores on their leaves called stomata; how that captured carbon is used by plant cells to build tough, flexible cell walls that help plants grow and develop, and how those cell walls can influence developmental processes; and how we might convert the sugars that are embodied in plant cell walls into  products to meet our needs for food, materials, and energy.
