Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoland Wilhelm is an Assistant Professor and microbial ecologist with 12 years of experience studying how microbial communities recycle plant matter, drive soil formation, and respond to disturbance. Trained to the PhD level in environmental microbiology and with postdoctoral work at Cornell, he blends lab and field experiments with high-dimensional data analysis and multi-omics integration to trace carbon flow and predict soil health. He writes and codes for high-throughput sequencing workflows, applies stable isotope probing to link function to taxa, and has a side habit of translating complex results into clear prose as a former manuscript editor. Based in Lafayette, Indiana, he communicates science broadly—online and in person—and brings an uncommon combination of computational rigor, field savvy, and editorial polish to soil microbiology research.
