Research Focus

As a postdoctoral researcher, my scientific passion lies at the intersection of plant nutrition and sustainable agriculture. I investigate how crops optimise nutrient acquisition while maintaining environmental sustainability, with a particular focus on the complex interactions between plant roots and their microbiomes. By combining advanced root phenotyping, physiological analysis, and microbiome research, I aim to uncover strategies that enhance crop resilience, nutrient use efficiency, and soil health for a more sustainable food system.
