Independent Studies

Actively involved in student activities programs such as fraternities, club, athletics, and student government I also regularly work with undergraduates in developing skills in investigating plant growing problems. Supervision of students in such activities   include plant nutrition, conventional and micropropagation, photoperiod studies, effects of temperature, ambient gases, and light quality of plant growth, and the extraction and analysis of essential oils. Through these activities acquire skills, here at the undergraduate level, that are generally experienced below the graduate level.   These projects also provide valuable experience in experimental design and in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data.

Beginning the spring semester of 2002 opportunities will be available for students to conduct research in developing protocols for tissue propagation of medicinal and essential oil containing plants.  This work may de done under a grant from a major pharmaceutical company.
