Previously he worked as a staff scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, focusing on a variety of functional and structural genomics projects, most notably the sequencing of the Populus genome. He has served on several scientific advisory boards, including those of reenwood Resources LLC and the Forest Health Initiative.

Her primary areas of research are environmental ethics, animal ethics, and the ethics of emerging technologies, in particular ethical questions raised by the use of biotechnology for conservation goals. She held the elected position of president of the International Society for Environmental Ethics from 2007 to 2010 and currently serves on the editorial boards of interdisciplinary journals, including Environmental Values, the Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics, People and Nature, and Environmental Humanities.

She studies population genetics and genomics of adaptive variation for stress resistance in temperate forest trees and insects, including insect vectors of human disease. In her first career in the private sector, she identified genetic determinants of regenerative capacity from tissue culture, resistance to two major potyviruses, and resistance to European corn borer in maize.
