Professor studying the evolutionary genetics of weeds and invasive plants at North Carolina State University. Lab website: avanwallendael.github.io
Hi #evol2025, our paper came out yesterday and I'd love to chat about it. We used an underused tool for studying parasite local adaptation, the Host Reciprocal Transplant, to study switchgrass and its fungal rust.

Got my new head shots back just in time to announce that I'm starting a lab at North Carolina State University in January! I'll be a genetics prof in the Weed Science program, with research centered on evolutionary genomics in weeds and invasive species
