Biography

I am a postdoc in the Department of Plant Sciences, working on plant fibre pigments. My background encompasses plant development, biotechnology, and genetic breeding. I am keen on developing versatile technologies to explore fundamental biological questions. My main research interests include the biology of natural pigments and how they are synthesized and metabolized, the development of plant trichomes and fibres, and leveraging an understanding of natural pigments to develop environmentally friendly products for a sustainable future.
