Since my time as a PhD Student at the University of Arizona, during which time I was funded by ARCS Phoenix from 2005 to 2008, I moved onto a postdoctoral position at Washington State University. After a couple of years, I moved into a faculty position in the Department of Entomology at the same University. My work has primarily focused on issues relating to sustainable agriculture, and has been published in top journals such as Nature, Nature Biotechnology, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This work has also been featured in news outlets such as the New York Times and Seattle Times.
As a professor, I hope to be able to involve some of my students in ARCS through the Seattle Chapter. ARCS funding was vital to my professional and personal development, and I am forever indebted to the organization for its support.
Thanks,
