At Purdue University, my focus as a Research Associate and the Director of Field Studies centers on elevating turfgrass health through rigorous trials and advanced data collection. Collaborating with the team, we design and evaluate numerous turfgrass field, greenhouse, and lab studies. We strive to ensure our findings set a high bar in the industry. Our work not only furthers scientific understanding, but also finds its way into practical agricultural applications, a journey I find profoundly rewarding.With a strong background in plant science and horticulture, I have also managed plant inventories, developed ArcGIS mapping, and oversaw greenhouse operations. My commitment to this field is fueled by a blend of scientific curiosity and a drive to contribute to sustainable agriculture practices.
