Our lab group changes frequently as students go on to complete their degrees; this is our current "crop" of scientists. 要查看格迪斯实验室校友，请向下滚动.

梅根Ramsett
研究专家

我保证实验室的正常运转, helping students with their work and making sure everything is stocked and ready; managing a variety of timelines, 实验室设备, 还有多年的熟练操作. My diverse background also includes experience in molecular biology, 温室管理, 实地考察各种植物.

Eglantina Lopez Echartea
博士后研究员

I am an environmental microbiologist who studies how microbial communities change and restructure in response to biotic and/or abiotic factors. I combine molecular and cultured based techniques with meta-omics technologies to understand such interactions and the driven dynamics. I currently work on a project to study the microbiome of dry edible pea and better understand microbe-plant-soil interactions towards a sustainable intensification of agriculture.  

我获得了博士学位.D. in 微生物学 in 2020 from the University of Chemistry and Technology of Prague, Czech Republic. I have a master’s degree in Environmental Engineering from the Ghent University, Belgium. 

Urmi Das
研究生(博士)

我是格迪斯博士实验室的一名研究生. 我来自孟加拉国. I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degree in Botany from the University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh before starting the 博士学位 in Fall 2021 at North Dakota State University. My research interests lie in the area of plant-microbe interactions. 作为博士项目的一部分, I am working on the diversity and structures of the microbiome in response to iron deficiency chlorosis in soybean plants, and also studying persistence of specific bacterial strains in a system to stabilize plant beneficial microbes within microbiome through synthetic 16S rRNA gene. 我喜欢旅游和看电影.

阁楼莱文
研究生(博士)

My work involves identifying genes involved in symbiotic effectiveness between rhizobia and legumes. I enjoy fishing, watching baseball, listening to music, and eating good food.

杰克舒马赫
研究生(博士)

我的研究涉及固氮根瘤共生体. The goal with this work is to support the eventual creation of bacteria capable of fixing nitrogen in cereal crops. 当我不在实验室的时候, you can find me on a soccer field or throwing a frisbee around with some friends.

布鲁克奔驰
研究生(硕士)

与博士共同督导. Tom Baldwin (NDSU植物病理学)

I am currently studying how the barley spike microbiome changes when in the presence of the fungal pathogen 镰刀菌素graminearum 导致镰刀菌枯萎病和非病穗病. In my free time I like to play board games and video games, and read sci-fi and fantasy books.

艾哈迈德·阿迪
研究生(硕士)

I am working on enhancing nitrogen fixation through synthetic biology: combining genes, 启动子, and terminators to make a new design that does not exist naturally. 我也在建立基因表达的生物报告器. 我喜欢在实验室工作，我也喜欢烹饪. 有趣的事实:我来自印度尼西亚, the only place you can find living dragons (Komodo dragons) and gorgeous triangle coral reefs.

 卢卡斯安第斯山脉
研究生(硕士)

In the spring 2021, I graduated from NDSU with a bachelor’s degree in 微生物学. 目前我正在攻读微生物学硕士学位. 戈德斯’ lab, working on a project to develop a means of quantifying the Rhizobia present in the soil. It is our hope to be able to identify a threshold of Rhizobia for various legumes to determine if farmers will benefit from inoculating their fields. By doing these two things we hope to reduce the cost of planting for farmers by reducing the unnecessary use of inoculated seeds.

艾哈迈德·艾哈迈德
研究生(硕士)

I'm working on establishing artificial symbiotic relations between Rhizobia and Legumes. I am pursuing a master's degree in 微生物学 under the supervision of Dr. 戈德斯. My undergraduate degree was completed at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. I was lucky enough to participate in a biodiversity study involving yeasts isolated from global soil samples directed by Dr. 建平徐. 我喜欢烹饪，我最喜欢的豆子是蚕豆!

米娅Haugan
本科生研究员

I am an undergraduate student exploring how bacteria associated with the alfalfa root microbiome colonize the root system and impact plant health. 不在实验室的时候, 我经常在户外学习更多乐虎电子大自然的知识, 攀岩, 或阅读.

恩典Loegering
本科生研究员

I am researching rhizobia strains across different North Dakota soils to find the most elite strains. This research could then be used to tailor-make inoculants for farmers.
我的一些爱好包括吹长号, 狩猎, 照顾我的宠物鱼, 玩棋盘游戏. 

娜塔莉Visich
本科生研究员

I am working alongside the other undergraduates on the pea rhizobia project. 使用了北达科他州田地里的豌豆样本, we are trying to identify unique strains of rhizobia found in the root nodules, and determine which strains work best to fix nitrogen for the pea, 同时也最适合在恶劣的环境中生存. 
I’m double majoring in Biotechnology and 微生物学, with a minor in Statistics. In my free time, I enjoy baking and cooking, reading, and listening to heavy metal. I’m a member of the Biotech + 微生物学 Club, and I sing in the Cantemus choir.
