Zinny Ezekannagha obtained her MS under the supervision of Assistant Professor Nick Smith at Texas Tech University and is now undertaking her PhD at the University of Florida. She continues to collaborate with the LEMONTREE project.
Zinny’s research focuses on using modeling approaches to examine the impact of photosynthetic acclimation in C3 and C4 plants on community and ecosystem scale dynamics. Zinny will be using eco-evolutionary optimality theory, global vegetation model in combination with eddy covariance and satellite observations.
