I also coordinate global agricultural field trials testing symbiotic microbes, totaling in 6,000+ acres per year on 24 crop types. This research is directed at providing seed and plant technologies to both large corporations in the United States and Australia as well as small scale producers in India, Ghana, and Bulgaria. This includes designing and developing plant assays on biotech crops to directly impact product development in-house as well as at the University of Washington, Oregon State University, and large scale seed distributors. I am responsible for monitoring end-to-end project progress and results dissemination to make results driven product development decisions. Show less

As a research scientist, I designed, implemented, and managed laboratory and field experiments using symbiotic fungal and bacterial technology in order to confer crops abiotic stress tolerance. I compiled and analyzed the resulting data for journal publications, government certifications, industry decision making, and project development. In this role I independently undertook laboratory and greenhouse plant assays from project design to result dissemination to board members, stakeholders, and… Show more As a research scientist, I designed, implemented, and managed laboratory and field experiments using symbiotic fungal and bacterial technology in order to confer crops abiotic stress tolerance. I compiled and analyzed the resulting data for journal publications, government certifications, industry decision making, and project development. In this role I independently undertook laboratory and greenhouse plant assays from project design to result dissemination to board members, stakeholders, and research associates. This information directly resulted in companywide seed, in-furrow, and foliar product paths. Show less
