Profile

I am a PhD student in Dr. Hehe Wang’s bacteriology lab at Edisto REC. I am a member of the American Phytopathological Society (APS), PES Graduate Student Association (PES GSA), and Edisto Research Association (ERA).

Research Interests

Dr. Hehe's lab conducts basic and applied research to study the epidemiology, ecology, and genetics of bacterial pathogens in different crop production systems. My current research focuses on examining the prevalence of chemical resistance in Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni on Peach production system, and develop sustainable approaches for disease management.
