She pioneered industry research focused on controlled agricultural lighting and post-harvest production. Dr. Zheng is a professor at the University of Guelph, Canada, and the president of the Canadian Society for Horticultural Science. He has extensive research experience in controlled environment plant production and has published more than 130 peer-reviewed scientific papers. Dr. Zheng has been actively involved in indoor cannabis production research in the past few years, and his group has published North America’s first peer-reviewed scientific papers on indoor cannabis production. He has developed and is currently teaching the world’s first university-level Cannabis Production course. Dr. Zheng has been frequently invited to speak about his research results nationally and internationally. Suzanne Wainwright-Evans is a horticultural entomologist specializing in integrated pest management. Suzanne has been involved in the Green Industry for more than 25 years with a primary focus on biological control and using pesticides properly.
