I am Erika Moore-Pollard, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Connecticut. My current research focuses on photosynthetic metabolism and functional trait tradeoffs in Bromeliaceae. I earned my PhD at the University of Memphis, where I investigated the phylogenomics, genomics, and systematics of Asteraceae, with a particular focus on the complex genus Packera. My overall research goal is to uncover the molecular drivers of plant diversification, with an emphasis on how polyploidy, hybridization, and convergent evolution shape trait innovation and ecological success across angiosperms.

My love for solidago flowers go deep. They are just so cute 😍
