Bio/Research
My research interests include understanding the role of plant genetics in the design of sustainable production systems, identifying relevant traits useful in these systems, combining them within superior germplasm, and integrating this germplasm into an optimized system. General areas of interest include plant breeding, intercrop interactions, nutrient use efficiency, root physiology, biotic and abiotic stressor resistance, and edaphic selection.
Beyond biological research, I have strong interests in Community Based Action Research (CBAR) and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). Specific interests include understanding the effects of community engagement on student learning, using technology to enhance the learning environment, and promoting storytelling and digital communication skills for student outreach.
In addition to my research interests, I am passionate about the UBC Farm and its future evolution into a world-class academic resource. I co-chair (with Mark Bomford) the South Campus Academic Plan committee charged by UBC's Board of Governors to develop an academically rigorous and globally significant plan to guide the future of the Farm. We have completed that request and have produced Cultivating Place. We continue our efforts to bring this document to life.
