Jhean Torres Leite, M.Sc., Agronomist My knowledge and skills are grounded in plant breeding, plant physiology (mainly about biotic and abiotic stresses), and data analysis. My significant strengths include maize breeding (area manager, irrigation system, crossing, selection of potential genotypes and breeding methods), scientific writing, experimental design, scientific methodology, laboratory and field experiments, data acquisition, data analysis, project management, networking, connection different disciplines, oral presentation, creative thinking, growth mindset, motivation, and science-based solutions. I also have excellent skills in communication, initiative, adaptability, focus, time efficiency, enthusiasm, self-development, and rapid learning. Currently, I’m a Ph.D. student in Genetics and Plant Breeding at the Universidade Estadual do Norte Fluminense Darcy Ribeiro – UENF, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. My research focus is the selection of drought-tolerant genotypes in popcorn and maize, using traditional breeding methods and high throughput phenotyping in inbred lines from Latin American countries.
