Biography
I am interested in micro-propagation and artificial seed production research. I also conducted research on cauliflower and ornamental plant tissue culture. I am also interested in the instigation the molecular mechanism of plant abiotic stress tolerance (e.g. monitoring gene expression profiles/ patterns and gene regulatory networks for understanding genetic control for crop improvement). I have processed research on the breeding of wheat and cauliflower using biomolecular techniques in order to improve its resistance to abiotic stresses (drought, cold and salinity). Recently, I have been conducting research on the development of the commercial use of new generation LED technologies for intensive hydroponic culture production of high value crops (Plant factory). I was the winner of the Vice Chancellor award for the Early Career Researcher in the Expert Category for 2012 at Plymouth University.
