Carmela Rosaria Guadagno, University of Wyoming, PI.
Born and raised in Naples, Italy, I moved to Laramie in 2011 to work at UW after my PhD. Passionate about studying plant-environment interactions and phenotyping methods, I hold an academic home with the department of Botany. I consider myself fortunate to serve as the Director of the Plant Growth & Phenotyping Facility and for the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Center. In this role, I have the opportunity to lead the development of the strategic plans for the facility’s utilization and operations while actively facilitating and contributing to research initiatives in various CEA settings. Driven by a commitment to dynamic scientific collaboration and excellence, I actively foster cross-disciplinary activities and partnerships in CEA, guaranteeing effective communication beyond our campus.
