In my research, I focus on applying plant ecology to develop smarter and more sustainable cropping systems.
Primary fields of research
- Sustainable crop production through diversification
- Optimizing plant-plant interactions for sustainable agroecosystems, including variety mixtures and intercrops
- Phenotyping of crop plant traits in field and mesocosm
- Modelling functional trait diversity of plant communities
- Improving spatial and temporal resource use by cultivated plants above and below ground
- Yield stability across field sites and years
- Crop traits for enhanced weed competition
- Plant trait plasticity and the effect on trait diversity and plant-plant interactions
- Managing agrobiodiversity for enhanced pest control
- Innovative cropping systems inspired by nature
- Population genetics and molecular phylogenetics
- Plant reproductive biology and hybridization
- Root growth and chemical interactions in the rhizosphere, including allelopathy and kin recognition via volatile organic compounds
- Statistical analysis of field trials, including linear mixed models and meta-analysis
- Meta-analysis in ecology and agriculture
- Development of image analysis techniques for non-invasive measurement of plant traits, plant-plant and plant-insect interactions
