Will Richardson

Will is a Biological Engineering Ph.D. student in our group, researching how solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence can be used to better understand carbon uptake in rice agro-ecosystems. He was previously a research analyst in our group, working on partitioning eddy covariance methane fluxes to better understand the importance of ebullition (sporadic releases of gas bubbles) as a transport pathway for rice methane emissions, resulting in a publication and open-source code.

M.S. Water Resources Engineering, Oregon State University. Thesis: “Assessing the potential for solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence to inform evapotranspiration partitioning”, advised by Stephen P. Good, David Noone, and Christopher Still.

B.S. Biological Engineering, University of Arkansas
