Biography

I work with Dr. Brandon Miller in the Department of Horticulture as a postdoctoral associate examining abiotic stress responses and genetics of woody plant species. My Ph.D. research working with Dr. James Luby at the University of Minnesota focused on investigating kiwiberry fruit quality and germplasm suitability for cold climates using a combination of consumer surveys, phenotyping, and genotyping-by-sequencing.
