About Troy

I am a plant ecophysiologist interested in the mechanisms underlying plant responses to their environment. Much of the research in my lab is focused on identifying the mechanisms explaining the range of drought tolerance strategies in plants and evaluating the different conditions that favor the various strategies. We use a range of techniques to accomplish these goals, from microscope imaging of plant structure, to measurements of photosynthesis and water-use, to whole-plant biomass measurements.
