Profile

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Soil Fertility within the Department of Agroecology, focusing on the agronomic role of temporary grasslands in crop rotation systems and their contribution to soil health.

Research

My research focuses on evaluating the effects of different grass mixtures on crop productivity, soil fertility, and soil structural stability. I employ novel techniques (i.e., FTIR spectroscopy and minirhizotron) to investigate root dynamics and interactions with soil fertility and crop yield.
