Education

Research
I have been involved in weed science research for over 20 years, ranging from biochemistry to applied field research. I have studied wheat quality traits in recent years, especially the role of polyphenol oxidase in darkening of wheat products. Most recently I have become involved in developing cropping systems for economically viable organic crop production in the Palouse region.
