Thomas Kichey is a Senior Lecturer HDR at the University of Picardie Jules Verne (UPJV), specializing in ecophysiology and plant physiology within the EDYSAN research unit (UMR 7058). His work focuses on invasive plant species and their ecological impacts under global change, with significant contributions to understanding foliar functional traits in invasion biology. He holds key administrative roles including Head of the Agroecology course in the Master's program in Agronomy, Environment, Territories, Landscape, Forest (AETPF), and serves as International Relations Correspondent for EDYSAN at CNRS. Education: Doctor of Cell Biology Research Focus: Dr. Kichey's research centers on invasive alien species , particularly examining how foliar functional traits drive invasion success in exotic plants. His work spans plant physiology , ecophysiology , and global change biology , with emphasis on leaf economics spectrum dynamics and physiological adaptations in invasive species like Rhododendron ponticum and Acer pseudoplatanus. Recent projects integrate agrivoltaics and crop physiology, demonstrating interdisciplinary innovation. Publication Trends: Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals consistent focus on invasive plant mechanisms (75% of articles), with growing emphasis on renewable energy-agriculture interfaces (2023-2025). His work combines field ecology with molecular physiology, predominantly published in high-impact ecology and agronomy journals. Key recurring themes include leaf trait plasticity, invasion impacts on forest ecosystems, and physiological responses to environmental stressors. Advising and Grants: Dr. Kichey has supervised five doctoral theses on topics ranging from forest regeneration to agrivoltaics, securing funding from diverse sources including ADEME, Campus France (PHC Polonium/Ulysses), NSF, and regional councils. Current projects include Displex (2023-2024) on soil functionality impacts and SPECTRIMOINE (2023-2024) on spectral analysis of toxic heritage. Research Infrastructure: As facilitator of EDYSAN's "Functional ecology of forest neo-ecosystems" axis, he leads collaborative work across French Atlantic forests. His international network spans Syracuse University (USA), Lebanese and Tunisian institutions, and European conservation bodies like Conservatoire du littoral, enabling cross-continental studies on invasion dynamics.

Gabriel Tucker is a Courtesy Faculty member in the Department of Forest Engineering, Resources & Management at the College of Forestry. His primary research focuses on tree ecophysiology, evolutionary biology, and silvicultural practices, with particular attention to shade tolerance mechanisms and uneven-aged forest management. His current appointment spans from May 2022 to May 2024. Key research interests include understanding the physiological and ecological adaptations of trees to environmental changes, such as light availability and management interventions like thinning. His work integrates field studies with theoretical models to explore forest dynamics and sustainable management strategies. His publications span decades, addressing topics ranging from conifer shade tolerance to canopy architecture and silvicultural techniques. Recent work (2024) explores evolutionary trade-offs in conifer fitness, while earlier studies (e.g., 2003) examine interdisciplinary approaches to continuous-cover forestry. No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials. Collaborators include Doug Maguire, though specific collaborative projects are not detailed.

Dominic P Petrella serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Horticultural Science within the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences at the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on turfgrass science with specialization in cool-season grasses and stress physiology. Research interests center on turfgrass adaptation to environmental stresses including winterkill, drought, and ice encasement. Key areas include spectral light effects on foliar development, genomic markers for stress tolerance in hard fescue, and intercropping systems involving fine fescues. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through sustainable turf management practices. Recent publications demonstrate expertise in turfgrass responses to sequential drought periods, genomic associations in Festuca brevipila, and innovative photoselective filter applications for simulating natural shade conditions. Research output shows consistent contributions to Crop Science and Plant Methods journals. No scientific awards were identified in the provided materials. Dr. Petrella actively collaborates on major research projects including WinterTurf: A Holistic Approach to Understanding Winter Stress on Turfgrasses in Northern Climates (USDA-funded, 2021-2026) and Evaluation of Cold Tolerance in Tall Fescue Cultivars (Ontario Turfgrass Research Foundation, 2021-2023). His grant portfolio includes projects from the US Golf Association and Minnesota Department of Agriculture focused on winterkill recovery and seed production optimization. Research operations involve spectral analysis equipment including chlorophyll fluorescence imaging systems and photoselective gels for light quality manipulation, supporting field studies on turfgrass stress responses.
