From exposure to the synthesis of an artificial hormone precursor during a 9-month capstone project at the University of South Australia, I pursued research on the synthesis of optoelectronic materials at Universiti Putra Malaysia. At the onset of publishing and dissemination of research outcomes, I began to understand the planetary resources and heritage. The initial engagement in the organic and inorganic syntheses directed an interest in biomass, the defining field to delve deeper into, to date. The research navigation years discovered the fascinating applications of the waste-derived commodities. Mastery of the science of scale and electron lenses at Universiti Sains Malaysia allows the discovery of nano-scale biostructures in fruit vascular edifices and plant roots, marking the first-mentioned "Pyrogenic-minero tropism" as the 17th tropism. The current focus on the elements of biomass for crop resilience through novel tropisms aims to contribute to the global initiative in unravelling the issues of food and resource insecurity.
