Postdoctoral Scholar

  • Cohort Postdocs and Visiting Scientists
  • Tenure 2019-2022
  • Now Assistant Professor, University of Warsaw
  • ORCID 0000-0002-6303-5433

Marcin joined the lab in 2019 after completing his PhD at the University of Warsaw. At the University of Nebraska Marcin is applying quantitative genetics tools to study the basis of complex traits in maize and sorghum and collaborating with the Ge lab (Biological Systems Engineering) and Glowacka lab (Biochemistry) labs to employ new phenotyping technologies to measure photosynthetic and plant nutrition traits across diversity panels. He is now a collaborator with the lab while he is based in Poland.
