“The Aquaponics Team”

Faculty & Staff

Rachel Fogle, Ph.D.

Associate Professor of Biological Sciences

Program Lead for Environmental Science & Sustainability

Director of Aquaponic & Hydroponic Initiatives

I am interested in providing our students authentic experiential learning opportunities, including participation in interdisciplinary research and internships.

Gaige Selvey

Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Technician

I manage our controlled environment agriculture facilities, including a research greenhouse and aquaponics lab, where I support hands-on learning and research. A key part of my role also involves partnering with community groups to expand outreach and coordinate food distribution, helping connect our work directly to community needs.

Glenn Williams

Instructor of Advanced Manufacturing, AR & Robotics

I support HU Aquaponics by integrating my expertise in programming, robotics, and augmented reality to develop innovative tools for data collection, system monitoring, and student engagement. My technical background strengthens the program’s ability to connect cutting-edge technology with sustainable agriculture practices.
