Research Interests

As the research specialist in the Medeiros Lab, I contribute to research on physiological variation, both within and between species, in the ecologically diverse genus Rhododendron. My work utilizes chemical analysis to investigate how photoprotective pigments, namely anthocyanins and carotenoids, correlate with environmental factors and other climate responsive traits, driving patterns of acclimation and adaptation. Broadly, I am interested in questions about how plant function evolves, how organisms acclimate to and persist under environmental change, and how biotic partners, from microbial symbionts to pollinators, influence plant adaptation.
