Sam Lee - Fungi & Environmental Systems

Hi, I’m Sam Lee.

I work in environmental science, focusing on how fungi interact with larger ecological systems.

Background:
I didn’t start with fungi specifically. I was interested in environmental science, and over time I kept encountering fungi as an important part of the systems I was studying.

What I work on now:

  • How fungi influence ecosystems
  • Connections between fungi, soil, and plant health
  • Applying research to real-world environmental problems

What I find most interesting:
Fungi often operate in ways that aren’t immediately visible, but they have large-scale impacts on ecosystems.

If you’re interested in going further:
I enjoy helping students think through projects and questions.

I’m also available to meet 1-on-1 with you:

  • Get feedback on your ideas
  • Understand how research works in practice
  • Explore topics in more depth

Happy to answer questions here as well.
