Bio:
Originally from Colorado, after finishing my undergraduate degree in Biological Chemistry and Anthropology at Grinnell College in Iowa, I was lured to the Pacific Northwest by fungi. While in Portland I attended a presentation by Dr. Seri Robinson on spalting fungi and was immediately hooked.
Research Interests:
My primary research focus is a lovely blue-green spalting fungus whose pigment is under investigation for use in opto-electronic applications including organic photovoltaics.
