Biography

Agronomist and Data Analyst (Skills: R, SQL and Python programming), Postdoc fellow at the Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT)–Africa hub, based in Senegal. I held a Bachelor's degree in Agronomy and an Engineering degree in crop science from the National Agronomic School (ENSA), in Thies/Senegal and a Ph.D. in plant breeding and genetics at Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) in Beijing/China. Before joining CIAT, I worked as a plant breeder scientist for the Senegalese Agriculture Research Institute (ISRA) in Senegal, between 2018 and 2024. In this position, I developed 09 cotton new lines which were highly productive in term of cotton fiber yield. I have worked previously as an agronomist at the Senegalese development for rice and horticulture cultivation society (SAED) in Saint Louis/Senegal from 2010 to 2014.
