Dr. Uriel Menalled, Candidate for Assistant Professor in Plant Science (May 29-30)

Dr. Uriel Menalled completed a PhD in Soil and Crop Sciences from Cornell University in 2023, and is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Soil and Crop Sciences Section of Cornell University’s School of Integrative Plant Science. His research uses ecological principles to evaluate weed-crop competition, weed community assembly, and the management, productivity, and economics of organic no-till crop systems. Through collaboration with scientists, farmers, and educators, he has contributed to proposals and fellowships that have resulted in research funding, various peer-reviewed and extension publications, and presentations for academic and farmer audiences.
