Profile
I am an Agricultural researcher investigating how beneficial microbes can enhance plant resilience to both abiotic and biotic stresses. Previously, I have studied microbial interactions with plants and used CRISPR gene editing to improve nitrogen-use efficiency in rice, contributing to more sustainable agricultural solutions.
Research
Can we better understand how beneficial microbes help plants cope with stress—and use that knowledge to support more resilient agriculture?
My research takes a systematic approach to studying microbial biological agents, focusing on how they interact with plants under both biotic and abiotic stress conditions. I investigate how different microbes influence plant defence and stress-response pathways, with an emphasis on uncovering the mechanisms that explain why some interactions are more effective than others. Ultimately, this work aims to build a clearer, mechanistic understanding of plant–microbe relationships to inform more sustainable and resilient agricultural systems.
