Administrative
Responsibilities:
As Head of the Department of Agronomy, I have administrative
responsibility for 51 faculty and 310 staff and students. Programs in the
department focus on our three mission areas in teaching, research, and
extension with about 50% of our FTE’s in research
and the other 50% FTE’s split between teaching and extension. Our programs
in the department focus on four main thrust areas: genetic improvement of
economic crops, environmental soil science and landscape processes, cropping
systems and plant nutrition, and turf and the urban interface.
Research Areas:
Root ecology, plant nutrition, and phytoremediation of contaminated soils.
