Greenhouse Lead

Research Assistant

Researched and worked in a Plant Ecophysiology Lab directed by Dr. Neufeld. I studied the effects of high light stress on ornamental plants, using croton as a study sample. My research aimed to determine how pigmentation changed with varying light intensity, which relied on the use of a LI-6800 and sampling.

The use of a LI-6800 allowed me to test varying light situations and could see in real time how the plant was reacting. In addition to these lab trials, I conducted greenhouse trials by placing some plants in a shade chamber and comparing them to those in full sun.
