Research focus
His current research focuses on investigating the physiological, molecular, and histological mechanisms that promote increased climate resilience and yield potential in grain sorghum. He collaborates closely with breeders, physiologists and machine learning experts to develop cutting-edge tools and approaches for high throughput phenotyping and molecular breeding to develop robust and effective routes to improve sorghum productivity. His work holds significant promise for improving the sustainability and resilience of agriculture, especially in regions where sorghum is a vital crop.
