My first first author publication is now out on BioRXiv! Super excited to share a new outlook in using the entire UV-VIS spectrum when analyzing plant samples on an HPLC-DAD! Super big thanks to my lab and all those who have helped me get here! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Untargeted Metabolomics of Plant Samples using HPLC-DAD and Gaussian Mixture Models
Premise: Plants produce millions of different chemical compounds, contributing greatly to their physiology and evolutionary trajectories. Most untargeted metabolomic methods are inaccessible, either d...

Excited to share my first first-author publication!! HyPhy is a Python-based tool for studying fungal hyphal networks, opening new doors to connect fungal architecture with genetic and environmental factors.
Hey y’all first grad student paper from the lab and @melaniemadrigal.bsky.social ‘s first-first author manuscript. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
HyPhy: A Skeletonization-Based Approach For Fungal Network Analysis
Premise: Traditional methods to quantify mycelial growth rely on destructive sampling to quantify biomass. However, these approaches limit continuous observation and require a large enough mass to mea...
