Educational Background
MSc Plant Physiology
Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India 2019
Profile
PhD student working with Dr. Sruthi Narayanan on identifying the molecular markers associated with root traits for improving the performance of cotton. I am also a member of the Crop Science Society of America (CSSA) and the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB).
Research Interests
My research interests are exploring the genetic, physiological and ecological basis of plant adaptations in different stresses like drought and heat to improve crop performance. Further, I am interested in learning and applying the various omics tools in research.
