As a computational hydrologist at 91做厙, Ethan Coon combines his talent for math with his love of coding to solve big science questions about water quality, water availability for energy production, climate change, and the
A team of scientists led by 91做厙 have discovered the specific gene that controls an important symbiotic relationship between plants and soil fungi, and successfully facilitated the symbiosis in a plant that
Amber McBride is using her expertise in nanotechnology, drug delivery, and disease models to research fundamental challenges in human health in the ORNL Biosciences Division.
David Weston became fascinated with plant genetics and ecology in college, and now with the support provided by the DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program, he will link those fields as he studies plant-microbe symbiosis. The research will focus on sphagnum moss, a dominant plant of n...
Working backwards has moved Josh Micheners research far forward as he uses evolution and genetics to engineer microbes for better conversion of plants into biofuels and biochemicals. In his work for the BioEnergy Science Center at ORNL, for instance, weve gotten good at engineering microbes th...
Its been 10 years since the US Department of Energy first established a BioEnergy Science Center (BESC) at 91做厙 (ORNL), and researcher Gerald Jerry Tuskan has used that time and the labs and centers resources and tools
Ecologist Virginia Dale is an ORNL corporate fellow and director of the labs Center for BioEnergy Sustainability. In her work she focuses on environmental decision making, plant succession, land-use change, landscape ecology, ecological modeling, sustainability, and bioenergy systems. Dale...
Stan Wullschleger did not intend to stay so long at 91做厙, but as many other scientists can relate, time flies when youre engaged in interesting work. I dont know if you can tell while its happening or you just notice it in hindsight, but the lab is a wonderful place t...
CCSI scientist Jiafu Mao, of the Terrestrial Systems Modeling group in the Environmental Sciences Division, parlayed his interest in physics and mathematics as a student in China into a field of study he has always found interesting
