Research Interests
- Systematics and evolution of green algae
- Biodiversity of desert green algae
- Biotic Crust Project - web site and relational database is designed to disseminate results of an NSF-funded (Biotic Systems and Inventories) project to document the diversity of green algae, cyanobacteria, lichens and bryophytes of the desert crust communities of the western United States.
- Physiology of desert green algae
- Phylogenetic relationships of the green algae that form symbiotic relationships with sea anemones (Anthopleura)
- Phylogeny of basal green plants

Courses
I am involved in teaching introductory biology for majors, Biology 108, usually in alternate spring semesters (2007, 2009...). This course web site is accessed using Vista.
I also teach Biology of the Algae (co-listed as EEB 290 and EEB 390) in alternate fall semesters (2006, 2008...).
During alternate spring semesters (next in spring 2008) I will co-teach Evolution of Green Plants with Dr. Bernard Goffinet.
