Agronomy Lab Position

I have worked in research labs under faculty for five semesters at Purdue. This semester, I work in Shalamar Armstrong’s Soil Ecosystem Nutrient Dynamic (SEND) lab located on the third floor of Lilly. I grind plant samples and measure samples to be analyzed for nutrient content each week. My favorite tasks is diluting solutions to run through a SEAL machine for phosphorous and nitrate content analysis. Joining a lab is a great opportunity to connect with graduate students and gain experience in field and lab settings.
