Overview

As an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Horticulture, I'm actively involved in both research and teaching. My research focuses on optimizing flavors and aromas in wine grapes, and I teach two undergraduate courses in Viticulture. I'm also the faculty advisor to the Cornell University Viticulture and Enology Club.

Research Focus

Research interests include cultural practices and physiology affecting development of flavors and aromas in wine grapes, with a particular emphasis on production/degradation of these compounds in cool climates.

Outreach and Extension Focus

I work with extension educators to train wine grape growers throughout the NorthEast to optimize fruit composition without compromising winter  hardiness.

Instruction Focus

Teaching responsibilities include Viticulture and Vineyard Management I and II (Hort 443 and 444)
