Research interests: My research centers around organisms in the kingdom Eumycota (Fungi): documenting diversity of lichenized and non-lichenized macrofungi present in the Southwestern United States. Documenting spore ultrastructure in gasteroid fungi using scanning electron microscopy. Examining diversity of fungi associated with biological crusts in arid lands using traditional and molecular techniques for community analysis, and the molecular and classical systematics of the gasteroid fungi in the families Lycoperdaceae and Geastraceae.

Other interests: Music, photography, traveling
