Phil Alderman
Phillip D. Alderman is an Associate Professor in the Plant and Soil Science Department at Oklahoma State University. Dr. Alderman seeks to leverage highly collaborative, transdisciplinary research to support sustainable and resilient farming systems in Oklahoma, the southern Great Plains and around the world. His approach to research fits within what the National Science Foundation has recently termed "convergence research." Specifically, his program is positioned at the interface between computational modeling, Bayesian analysis, high performance computing, plant breeding/genomics, and crop ecophysiology in the context of agriculture. In particular, he investigates the interactions between weather/climate, soil, crop genetics, and management on the current and future sustainability and resilience of agricultural systems.
