| Gene
Giacomelli is the director of the CEAC, or interdisciplinary education,
research and outreach program for greenhouse and other advanced technology
systems. He received a Ph.D. in Horticultural Engineering from
Rutgers University in 1983. He also has a Master's degree in Agricultural
Engineering from the University of California-Davis and two bachelor's
degrees in Horticultural Science and Biological and Agricultural Engineering
from Rutgers University. Here at the University of Arizona he teaches
Controlled Environment Systems which is an introduction to the technical
aspects of greenhouse design, environmental control, nutrient delivery
systems, hydroponic crop production, intensive field production systems,
and post-harvest handling and storage of crops. His research interests
include controlled environment plant productions systems [greenhouse
and growth chamber] research, design, development and applications,
with emphases on: crop production systems, nutrient delivery systems,
environmental control, mechanization, and labor productivity. (To
