Jacob Fay– Undergraduate Research Assistant and UD Envision Intern (summer 2024)

Jacob is a current research assistant in the lab. In the summer of 2024, he was an intern in the lab through the UD Envision Program, where he developed methodologies for estimating nitrogen uptake and availability for corn plants. Jacob is fascinated by everything that has to do with ecology, therefore he is most excited about working in an agroecology lab and witnessing a side of ecology that he has not experienced before.
