Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobin Choudhury is an assistant professor and plant disease epidemiologist with nine years of research experience spanning academia and government, focused on protecting crops like spinach, grapevine, and avocado from fungal and viral pathogens. His work blends field collaboration with growers and industry partners, quantitative modeling of disease pressure and meteorological drivers, and network analysis to predict pathogen and information spread. Trained at UC Davis and Maryland and seasoned by a USDA stint, he applies both practical pest-management perspectives and rigorous modeling to real-world problems. Notably, his postdoctoral work used social and movement networks to anticipate laurel wilt impacts on avocado production, illustrating a rare combination of epidemiology, network science, and applied extension outreach.
