As an environmental sciences PhD candidate, my research focuses on plant–microbe interactions for sustainable crop production. My work investigates the role of beneficial soil microorganisms in enhancing plant growth, improving stress tolerance, and supporting agricultural systems under varying environmental conditions.
My research explores the potential of plant growth–promoting microorganisms as sustainable alternatives to conventional agricultural inputs. I am particularly interested in how these biological agents interact with plants under different resource availability scenarios, including variations in water supply and soil conditions, and how these interactions influence plant development and productivity. To support these investigations, I apply molecular biology approaches to characterize microbial community composition and assess shifts in response to experimental treatments.
My broader academic interests lie at the intersection of molecular biology, microbiology, plant science, and sustainability, with a focus on supporting the development of environmentally responsible and efficient cultivation strategies.
