Victor Blanco will be joining Lee Kalcsits’ tree fruit physiology lab as a postdoc. He is an Agricultural Engineering and M.S. in Advanced Techniques for Agricultural Alimentary Research and Development. Victor obtained his Ph.D. in Agronomy, at the Technical University of Cartagena, Spain and he was a visiting student researcher at the University of Amsterdam and the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. He has focused his work on the physiological and agronomical response of fruit trees to water stress and environmental conditions. During his stay he want to broaden his knowledge of water and nutrient uptake and distribution in fruit trees and the physiological mechanisms contributing to the development of physiological disorders in tree fruit.
