Over several years of a research career, I have conducted projects aimed at improving yield, biomass, and root formation in crop plants under abiotic stress conditions using various classical, molecular, and biotechnological approaches. My research skills and experiences comprise Plant Functional and Structural Genomics, Statistical Genomics, Molecular Breeding, and Quantitative Genetics. These skills have been complemented with methods in metabolite profiling, SNP genotyping, and Bioinformatics.
