RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Assistant Professor (Cropping Systems), Jan 2024 – Present           Tennessee State University, Nashville, TN, USA.

Program Overview : The overarching goal of my program is to improve long-term economic and environmental sustainability of cropping systems in Tennessee. To achieve this goal, my colleagues and I design and study cropping systems to help Tennessee growers improve their soil health and enhance their agroecosystem services. Thus, my research interests include designing resource-efficient and resilient cropping systems; enhancing agroecosystem services through cover cropping, crop rotations, and conservation tillage; integrating crop and livestock production; organic crop production; and perennial grain production.
