College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science Present: Fall Seminar Series

Carsten Kulheim, PhD
Associate Professor, College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science

I went to high-school and started my undergraduate degree in Biology in Mainz, Germany. In 1999, I went on an international exchange year to Umea University, Sweden. I finished my undergraduate degree and did my PhD at the Umea Plant Science Center, Sweden, in Plant Molecular Biology. After a two year postdoc at the University of British Columbia, Canada, I moved to Canberra, Australia where I started to investigate how genetic differences affect variation in plant secondary metabolites. In 2018, I moved to my current position as Associate Professor in Forest Genetics at Michigan Technological University. My research focus is on environmental adaptation in deciduous trees.
