Vinson Doyle

Dr. Vinson Doyle is an Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Pathology and Crop Physiology at Louisiana State University. His research focuses on fungal systematics, population genetics, and statistical phylogenomics of plant-associated fungi.

Education:

• Ph.D., City University of New York/New York Botanical Garden (2012)
• M.Phil., City University of New York/New York Botanical Garden (2009)
• B.S., The Evergreen State College (2004)

Research combines fieldwork, molecular systematics, and computational biology to understand fungal diversity and evolution. Current work addresses methodological challenges in phylogenetic analysis and species delimitation of endophytic, epiphytic, and pathogenic fungi.

Key publications describe novel fungal species, examine phylogenomic inference methods, and explore ecological implications of fungal diversity in agricultural and natural systems.
