Daniel R. Cooley
Associate Professor

The research and education program in my laboratory focuses on the ecology and management of economically important plant diseases, with an emphasis on sustainable agriculture and fruit crops. We have worked on integrated pest management systems, IPM, for apples and strawberries, and have recently begun working on grapes. The long-term goal of this work is to develop disease management tools that contribute to more sustainable fruit production systems.

I teach courses in plant pathology, such as "Plant Disease Management and Ecology", and a General Education course called "Plagues: The Ecology of Disease". We have opportunities for graduate and undergraduate research both during the school year and in summer.

A recent CV is available here.
