Will Krogman, MS

Professional Background

Will Krogman has a background in biological research where he got his start studying the physio-ecology of snakes and lizards before transitioning to agricultural research. He studied genetic and environmental influences of grass cultivars, soil health for carbon sequestration, and plant root genetics and development in microgravity while working at the Noble Research Institute, LLC. He then transitioned to his current position, working with resident physicians in the Department of Anesthesiology as a research and teaching associate.

As the research associate for the department, Will is responsible for assisting the anesthesiology residents with achieving their scholarly activity requirements for graduation. He also presents the Research Lecture Series to the residency that focuses on various research topics to prepare residents for their in-training exams.
