About
Summary
To obtain knowledge and skills in Agricultural Sciences in an Institution which offers a challenging environment for learning and research to equip me for the development of improved human conditions to communities around the world. I am curious about the orchestration of various mechanisms involved in agriculture, soil conditions, plants responses to biotic and abiotic stresses, ecology, climate change management, innovative techniques for gene identification, breeding, pathology, and food security.

Education
University of Glasgow 2015 - 2016
Field of study: Food Security
Degree: MSc
Related Coursework: Plant genetic Engineering, Crop and Animal Biotechnology Applications,
Molecular Laboratory Skills, Quantitative Methods, Bioscience Commercialization, Field Crops, Plant
Pathology, etc.
Skills
-Molecular lab skills (PCR and Primer Design, DNA Cloning (cloning a gene), Sequencing and
Bioinformatics, DNA sequence analyses, BLAST searching, How to investigate a gene of interest,
Introduction of DNA into plant cells, Transformation and selection, RNA extraction from plant tissues)
-Measuring plant physiological parameters

-I believe I can complement your research group because (1) I can assist in conducting original,
publishable research in plant biology and breeding/genetics, (2) I have broad understanding about plant breeding/genetics, (3) I can write and speak effectively to professional and lay audiences about the research being undertaken, (4) I have some experience working on cereals from my undergraduate and postgraduate programs and (5) I can assist in teaching and mentoring undergraduate students.
- Ability to use computer software: Word processing, Spread sheet, Microsoft Power Point, Microsoft Excel, Internet, E-mail, Statistical software (e.g. Minitab 16.1).
Professional interests
My research interest lies in agronomy focusing on cereal genetics and breeding, plant genomics, plant physiology, molecular biology, plant pathology, ecology, organic agriculture, water and fertilizer use efficiency, climate change, and disease and pest control. I am also interested in social and sustainable management research, and policy infrastructure in agriculture, rural development, climate change, as well as cropping systems research. I strongly believe working in any of these research areas is crucial in promoting global food security. In the future, I would like to be part of a global research network involved in agronomy research to promote sustainable global crop production and food security.
