Personal profile
Profile
I am a crop scientist with a special focus on plant physiology and belowground ecology. My key research areas cover root biology, digital phenomics, perennial cropping systems and sustainable intensification. I have developed novel methods (digital and biochemical) to reveal several fundamental plant-soil mechanisms in relation to solving complex problems in agriculture such as climate change.
