She was a doctoral researcher at Ghent University, where she studied wheat and Triticeae genetic mapping.
In the United Kingdom, she worked in John Innes Centre[3] where she created the concept of crop circles, which considers the relationship between grass genomes.
[citation needed] Devos moved to the University of Georgia in 2003, where has focused on understanding the genetics of grasses.
[5] These investigations have included target crops such as wheat, panicum virgatum foxtail millet, eleusine coracana.
