Anthony received his PhD in 2016 for work on population genetics of high impact invasive plant species. His work takes a multidisciplinary approach, combining traditional ecology with modern molecular and computational techniques.
He is currently a postdoc at the University of Minnesota, where he leads a team developing and verifying genetic markers for detection of the high impact agricultural weed Amaranthus palmeri.
