Research Interests: Using integrative genetic/genomics approaches, my research broadly focuses on Evolutionary Ecology, Physiology & Conservation Biology.
Research Interests: Anaerobic fungi, rumen microbiology, microbial biomass conversion, mitigation of enteric methane emissions, and targeted genome engineering of the rumen microbiome.
My research background is in genetics and reproduction, currently I am working on developing gene edited animals to sex-specifically disrupt sperm function resulting production of a single sex of offspring.
Research Interests: My research focuses on understanding the role and dynamics of rumen microorganisms—bacteria, methanogens, and anaerobic fungi—in rumen fermentation and enteric methane production. I am also developing mitigation strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ruminants using feed additives and engineering tools.
