Profile
I am a Ph.D. student working with Dr. Sruthi Narayanan at Clemson University in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences. My research focuses on the identification of molecular markers associated with lipid metabolism that contribute to heat tolerance in soybean. During my Master's, I investigated the physiological and molecular effects of hypergravity on plants.
Research Interests
I am interested in using OMICS approaches to better understand and uncover the mechanisms by which plants respond to various stress signals. Also, I am open to learn and bring molecular biology and artificial-intelligent approaches together to contribute to terrestrial/extra-terrestrial agriculture.
