I completed my PhD in 2014 in David Hibbett’s lab (Clark University, Worcester, MA). I have been working with mushroom forming fungi (Agaricomycetes) focusing on two different fields. The first is related to taxonomy and diversity of lignicolous Agaricomycetes. The second is related to evolution and function of the mechanisms and enzymatic networks involved in the plant cell wall degradation, using phylogenetics and comparative genomics.
