Biography

I did my PhD, in plant science at the University of Nottingham, investigating root anatomy in a range of species, with focuses on understanding the vestigialization of duckweed roots, and identifying drought tolerant root traits in pearl millet. I have now joined Uta Paszkowski’s lab, and will be researching arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in cassava.
