Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Gentry is an accomplished geographer and higher-education leader with eight years of formal experience in faculty and administrative roles and a research career spanning GIS, dendroecology, landscape and fire ecology, and environmental hazards. As Associate Dean for the College of STEM and a long-serving professor and former department chair at Austin Peay State University, he blends interdisciplinary research with program building, large-budget management, and faculty development. He has directed multiple centers and undergraduate research initiatives, forging partnerships across academia and practice to translate spatial-temporal environmental insights into applied solutions. Known for collaborative leadership and clear communication, he combines field-based expertise (including tree-ring research) with data analysis skills to address complex, multidimensional problems. A self-described "poor coder" who nonetheless leads a Biogeography, Environment, and Tree‑Ring Laboratory, he brings pragmatic curiosity and a knack for aligning diverse teams around measurable student and research outcomes.
