Uzay Sezen

Uzay Sezen earned his doctorate degree from the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department of the University of Connecticut. He studied tropical forest regeneration and gene flow in a Costa Rican lowland rainforest.

He worked as a research scientist in Plant Genome Mapping Laboratory of the University of Georgia and Plant Computational Genomics Laboratory at UConn. He is currently continuing his work in Quantitative Forest Ecology Lab at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center (SERC) at Edgewater, MD in collaboration with Swenson Lab at the Notre Dame University. His recent project involves monitoring of differential gene expression patterns in five forest tree species at SERC and Harvard Forest employing RNA-seq method. The project involves leaf sampling from geo-referenced trees using a modified crossbow with a fishing line attachment (see the excerpt video below).

He is a contributor to two Turkish geographical magazines ATLAS and MAGMA. He started Nature Documentaries in February 2012 and also manages the Nature Documentaries Youtube Channel.
