Description
Portrait of Ty Wilson. Ty Wilson graduated earlier this year with a bachelor’s degree in plant science . During his time in the undergraduate program, Wilson worked as a research assistant in Dr. Amita Kaundal’s lab. They focused on researching plant growth-promoting microbes found in the soil around plant roots; leading to learning about how specific plants survive in low-water climates and expanding this knowledge to other plants—potentially creating new ways to maintain and increase crop yields with minimal rainfall. Wilson graduated as a co-author on two peer-reviewed research publications and reserved co-authorship on three more publications soon to be released. He presented his work to Utah legislators at Research on Capitol Hill in both 2024 and 2025, and at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research.
