Eligibility
- PhD in a full-time faculty position
Description
The program supports research that applies engineering principles and techniques to advance our understanding of how plants function. These projects can tackle a variety of goals, including the development of sensors to study plant physiological responses, the engineering of plants capable of withstanding inhospitable environments, genetic modifications that reveal the trade-offs inherent in plant growth and development, and many others. Developing fundamental insight as well as tool and techniques fall within the program’s interests.
