Jessica Langguth, Newton Tran, and Marvin Lo harvesting roots from a waterlogging stress study.
Jessica Langguth
Lab Affiliate. Fomer REU student, then a returning Lab Fellow, and continuing to Lab affilliate. Jessica is working on a project to understand fine-root functional traits across the gymnosperm phylogeny.
Marvin Lo
Long-time Research Associate in the Root Lab. Marvin maintains all Root Lab operations and helps to design and execute novel research.

Root Lab Principal Investigator
Google Scholar : ResearchGate : Curriculum Vitae
Kelsey Patrick
Funded by a REPS Fellowship from NSF, Kelsey is working to understand the role of roots in defining whole-plant responses to waterlogging stress.
Newton Tran
A former Research Associate in the Root Lab, and now transitioning to a long-distance Lab Affiliate, Newton has established much of the data protocols and standards in the Root Lab as well as establishing research linking belowground processes with tree water movement.
