4:30 - 6:00
Networking social + student & postdoc research poster session

6:00 - 7:00
Featured Speaker: Mohsen B. Mesgaran
Assistant Professor, Department of Plant Sciences, UC Davis

Topic: Dr. Mesgaran is interested in understanding the eco-evolutionary processes underpinning the spread and escalation of weedy and invasive plants both in agricultural and natural systems. In research on weeds, he is striving to establish links between ecological patterns and physiological processes through advanced modeling approaches. His lab uses a diverse variety of tools and techniques including advanced modeling, remote and proximal sensing, image processing, and GIS to develop “eco-tech” solutions for ecological management of weeds as well as a better understating of the spatial and temporal variability of weed populations and communities. His research has direct outcomes for ecological management of weeds and thus can help reduce the use of chemicals in weed management. The current focuses of the lab are:
- Reproduction biology (mating system) of weeds and invasive plants
- Interaction between weedy plants and their pollinators
- Spatiotemporal dynamics of weeds and invasive plants
- Seed germination and emergence ecology with focus on development of predictive models
- Big data modeling and precision agriculture
- Application of artificial intelligence (deep learning) in weed science and management

Location: ARC Ballrooms, UC Davis
