 Education:

My research program emphasizes studies on 1) mechanisms and control of plant diseases caused by soilborne pathogens, especially sclerotia-forming pathogens; 2) the relationships between pathogen, plants and other microorganisms in soil; and 3) utilization of naturally occurred beneficial organisms for improving plant health and soil health. I am also interested in developing detection and identification methods for soilborne pathogens.
