Amy Barber was joined by Dr. Alexander Bucksch, a plant phenomicist and associate professor in the School of Plant Sciences at the University of Arizona. He has over 10 years of experience in developing and applying mathematical and computational methods to study plant morphology and physiology across scales and domains, from the organismal to the ecosystem level, and from above to below-ground.
His current research focuses on root phenomics, ranging from the population level to the molecular level. In doing so, he develops computational imaging and simulation techniques that can be applied in the lab and the field.
