Research Area:

My overarching research interests focus on the role of epigenetic regulation in plant development and plant-environment responses. We use combined genetics, genomics, cell biology and biochemistry approaches to study the molecular mechanism of plant chromatin 3D structure regulation, and how chromatin 3D structure is able to affect transcription and genome maintenance.
