Dr.H. Willis is currently Professor at Duke trinity College Of Arts & Sciences. His research interests are We conduct research on broad issues in evolutionary genetics, and we are currently addressing questions relating to the evolution of adaptation, reproductive isolation, breeding systems, inbreeding depression, and floral traits in natural plant populations. Please see our lab web page for more information.
