Background.
I fell in love with plants while growing up in Virginia, where I spent my free
time backpacking in the Shenandoah and Allegheny Mountains. In college I
studied organismal botany, chemistry and math. After a summer in college as a
volunteer ranger at Great Basin National Park in Nevada, I decided to go to
Utah for graduate school, where I worked with Keith Mott on patchy stomatal
conductance and stomatal water relations. I also visited Graham Farquhar's
lab in Australia, which led to many years of postdoctoral work in Canberra,
mostly on optimisation of resource use.
I also had postdocs with Dave Roberts
(Montana State) and Mark
Adams (University of Sydney) on regulation of tree water use in subalpine
forests before moving to Sonoma County in 2008 for my current position.
In July 2013 I will take up a position as Senior Lecturer in the
Faculty of Agriculture and Environment at the University of Sydney's I.A.
Watson Grains Research Centre in Narrabri, NSW, Australia.
