Dr. Mario Bretfeld studied Landscape Ecology at the Carl-von-Ossietzky University of Oldenburg and received a Ph.D. in Biological Education in 2014 at the University of Northern Colorado.
After graduation, Dr. Bretfeld moved to Panama as part of a post-doctoral fellowship with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) and the University of Wyoming to quantify the impacts of different types of land use on the water cycle. In August 2019, he joined the Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology at Kennesaw State University.
His research utilized a first-principles approach to understand the ecology and physiology of plants based on physical laws and principles. At KSU, his research is focused on native plant conservation (SEPAL) and controlled environment agriculture.
