Helping to manage several grant-funded projects of Plannt Science Professor and Graduate Program Coordinator Dr. Marisol Berti. Simultaneously helping with administrative and outreach objectives of the Berti Lab like planning the annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Industrial Crops in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Within own research, I am currently studying the carbon intensity (CI) and life-cycle analysis (LCA) of camelina and canola cropping systems. Decreasing CI of camelina and other oilseed feedstocks could help in scale-up of the emerging oilseed biofuels industry. My other research involves field experiments with alfalfa to test the treatment effects of live-cell chlorella algae and mycorrhizal inoculants.
