Marta T Pudzianowska, Ph.D.

Marta Pudzianowska, Ph.D., joined Mississippi State University as a turfgrass breeder in October 2023. She has been working in warm-season turfgrass breeding since 2017, when she joined the University of California, Riverside. Originally from Poland, she earned her M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Horticulture at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences. Her main focus is developing resilient and sustainable bermudagrasses. She began working with bermudagrass in California and continues her efforts at MSU. In addition to bermudagrass, she has experience in breeding kikuyugrass and working with several other warm-season species. She also plans to incorporate carpetgrass into her breeding efforts at MSU. Outside of work, Marta enjoys hiking, traveling, flowers, and snuggling under a blanket with a book and her two cats.
