What I'm looking for

I seek research roles that apply evidence-based agronomy to improve soil health and crop resilience, with collaborative teams and opportunities to lead impactful projects.

I am an innovative, results-driven research scientist specializing in agriculture, with a strong background in soil–plant interactions, crop productivity, and sustainable nutrient management.

I design and execute field and laboratory experiments, use advanced statistical methods, and have developed a novel methodology that streamlined research processes and improved data analysis accuracy.

I have authored peer-reviewed papers, presented at international conferences, mentored undergraduate students, and led research that increased yields and research efficiency while reducing costs through sustainable practices.

I collaborate across teams and stakeholders, translate complex findings into practical agricultural solutions, and am passionate about enhancing soil health and resilient, environmentally sound production systems.
