Biography:

Jaden Tatum is a researcher in BSAL. She leads several projects related to sustainable and resource-efficient technologies in the areas of controlled environment agriculture (CEA) and post-harvest grain management. Within her CEA projects, she works with farmer partners to coordinate on-farm research into shallow geothermal heating and cooling systems for high tunnels and has developed outreach materials and given farm tours and presentations to farmers in Ohio. Her work in post-harvest grain management has been focused on low-cost technologies for low-resource farmers, and she has been engaged with the Humanitarian Engineering program at OSU and the ASABE Global Engagement subcommittee of the Young Professionals Committee. She also enjoys hiking, camping, travel, and crafting.
