Faculty
The people guiding your child are researchers who have done real research — and sat at the judging table.
Dr. Sean Wang
Turning doctoral-level research methods into steps a student can actually take — from asking the right question and designing the experiment to analyzing the data and presenting it with confidence.
Dr. Wang majored in plant pathology from bachelor's through Ph.D. (National Chung Hsing University → National Taiwan University → University of Florida), with doctoral research on crop-disease management, field trials, seed treatment, and sustainable production. He brings this training in experimental design, the scientific method, data analysis, and science communication to mentoring students across the agricultural, plant, environmental, and life sciences.
