Post Doc

Megan

I am in my first year as a post-doc at Penn
State University, working in Dr. Richard's lab.
My background is in modeling, sustainable
agriculture, and molecular microbial ecology
techniques to study microorganisms in
complex environments, such as soil and
compost. At Penn State, my research is
focused on ensilage as a biomass storage
and pretreatment method for cellulosic
ethanol production.
