Dr. Pugh received his PhD in Pharmaceutical Chemistry from Lehigh University and his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Millersville University. He was also a postdoctoral researcher at The Pennsylvania State University (Biochemistry) and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan (STEM Education).

Dr. Pugh’s research interests lie in the areas of plant/crop responses to stress and signal transduction to determine effective strategies for maintaining our global food supply and combating invasive crop species. He is also interested in the implementation and assessment of high impact principles and practices (HIPPs) and Writing-to-Learn (WTL) strategies in STEM at the levels of secondary and post-secondary education.
