# overview
My research program addresses basic and applied research issues related to turfgrass management, physiology, and ecology.  Research focuses on developing sustainable approaches new technologies for irrigation, nutrient management, and construction practices for golf course, sod production, and lawn systems.  My program collaborates with faculty across a variety of disciplines to address problems of interest to turf industry stakeholders.
