About me

I love all things science and biology related, from electrons to ecosystems!

However, my passion and academic specialization is botany and plant systematics. My primary research interest is phylogenetics and DNA barcoding. I also dabble in hydroponic gardening as a STEM teaching tool and as a means to introduce students to the fascinating world of plants and the plant sciences. I’m excited to continue research on desert flora more locally with the help of undergraduate students at Nevada State College.

Dr. Dertien regularly teaches: Biol 196 (Principles of Modern Biology I) & Biol 197 (Principles of Modern Biology II)
