Alyssa Essman

As a research associate I plan, design, execute and report research in the area of weed management and herbicide efficacy. I am especially interested in the use of cover crops as an integrated pest management tool.

When did you start working for OSU?

I started as an undergrad in the Loux lab April 2014 and transitioned to my current role as a research associate in the same lab May 2018.

What do you like to do in your free time?

In my free time I enjoy being outdoors, especially gardening and hiking, reading, and spending time with friends, family, and my dog.
