BIO

I earned my PhD in Plant Biotechnology in 2017. Over the past years, I have held academic positions as a postdoctoral and research fellow at various leading research institutes and universities. My research focuses on uncovering the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms that drive plant development, stress response, and adaptation, with the ultimate goal of enhancing crop resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

By leveraging advanced molecular techniques, high-throughput genomics, and UAV-based phenotyping, I aim to develop crop varieties that are more resilient to climate change and environmental stress. My research plays a critical role in addressing the global challenges of food security and sustainability.
