Biodiversity and Conservation (CMBC) and professor emeritus in the
department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences at Louisiana State
University (LSU). He was the founding dean of LSU's School of the Coast
and Environment and over three decades at LSU conducted research on the
ultrastructure and molecular evolution of green algae and land plants.
He received his undergraduate degree in Biology at Dartmouth College
and his MS and PhD at the University of California, Davis in Botany.
He
is past president and Board of Trustees member of the Phycological
Society of America, and is currently treasurer of the International
Phycological Society. He serves on the International Organizing
