Robert K. Stanley
Post Doctorate RA

Robert Stanley is a postdoctoral research associate on the Biogeochemical Transformation team. His current research focuses on using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging to understand the chemical response to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants, uncover plant–rhizosphere interactions, and generate molecular atlases of key plants.
