Bio
As a master’s student in Global Plant Health, my research curiosity lies at the intersection of plant–microbe interactions, molecular signalling, and the strategies pathogens deploy during infection.
I am fascinated by the molecular conversations that shape plant immunity, and how advanced approaches such as proteomics can uncover the unseen layers of these interactions.
By exploring the intricate roles of microbial secretions, effector activity, and host responses, I aim to contribute to the understanding of balance between resilience and susceptibility in plants, with an eye toward innovative solutions for sustainable plant health.
