Research focus

My research focuses on the use of the latest techniques to reduce nitrous oxide (N2O) emission, increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and increase the Zinc (Zn) contents in cereal grains by agronomic biofortification. I am using a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses the fields of Environmental Science, Soil Science, Chemistry, Nanotechnology, and Agronomy.
