Later, I completed my PhD at The University of Western Australia (2012-2016). My PhD focused on how root symbionts, such as mycorrhizal fungi change over ecosystem development in a biodiversity hotspot. The most interesting finding of my thesis was the role of both mycorrhizal fungi and soil-borne pathogens in plant coexistence and potential in plant diversity. Currently, I\u2019ve joined Oregon State University as a postdoc evaluating the role of native oomycetes in structuring plant communities in a temperate forest in southern Washington. This study will identify the native oomycete community, their host range, and their role in plant coexistence.\n\n<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/joneslab\/files\/2016\/09\/Picture1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-852\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/joneslab\/files\/2016\/09\/Picture1-300x200.png\" alt=\"Picture1\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1098\/files\/2016\/09\/Picture1-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1098\/files\/2016\/09\/Picture1-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1098\/files\/2016\/09\/Picture1.png 940w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div><p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:32px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/joneslab\/former-lab-members\/\"><strong>\u2190 People archive<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alumni profile Dr. Felipe Albornoz I completed a BSc in Biological sciences at Pontifical Catholic University (Chile) in (2007-2011).\u00a0 I them worked on forest regeneration after fires in a temperate rainforest in southern Chile (2012).
