Assistant Professor
Michigan State University
East Lansing, Michigan
Berkley initially thought he would pursue a career in business until a year after graduating with an undergrad degree in microbiology. After founding a granola bar company he worked as a product manager for what is now the METER Group, where he was able to attend his first graduate course in environmental biophysics. It was there that he realized his passion for understanding the world through a scientific lens and headed for graduate school at Washington State University studying Molecular Plant Sciences with Asaph Cousins. Following a postdoc with Don Ort at the University of Illinois he received an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship hosted by Andreas Weber at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf, Germany. He recently started his first independent position at MSU within the Plant Research Laboratory. When he is not thinking about fluxes of energy or carbon, he enjoys hiking, bike-riding or experiencing new cultures with his family.
