About Me

Rob Mikkelsen
I am a soil scientist with interest in managing plant nutrients in the best way possible. I am fortunate to be able to work in research and education to be able to accomplish this goal. After receiving a PhD in Soil Science at the University of California (Riverside), I worked as a Research Scientist for the U.S. government, as a Professor of Soil Science, for the not-for-profit IPNI, and now the African Plant Nutrition Institute. It's been a wonderful experience!
