Overview
Background
I am a plant scientist working at the interface between microbiology, agriculture, and applied research. My work focuses on designing and interpreting experimental systems that translate complex biological processes into practical solutions for agriculture, from herbicide discovery to microbial-based disease control and other sustainable agricultural solutions. I work across laboratory, glasshouse, and field environments, integrating experimental design, microbiome science, and interdisciplinary collaboration to address real-world agricultural challenges. I am particularly interested in building bridges between fundamental research and application, helping translate science into scalable, practical outcomes.
