Overview
Background
Shanice Van Haeften is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation, University of Queensland. Her research harnesses cutting-edge technologies, including UAV imagery, to unravel the physiological mechanisms and genotype-by-environment interactions underpinning crop yield productivity and stability.Currently, Shanice is conducting research to accelerate the development of heat-tolerant chickpea varieties for Australian growers through novel phenotyping and genomic approaches. This work is part of the Grains Research and Development Corporation funded project "Fast tracking deployment of chickpea heat tolerance”, led by Dr Millicent Smith. Driven by a passion for global food security, Shanice’s research extends beyond Australian agriculture. She is committed to applying her expertise in crop improvement and environmental adaptation to international development contexts, aiming to be a part of solutions that can support the empowerment communities worldwide with sustainable and resilient agricultural systems.
