Phd Candidate
CurrentCurrently, I am enrolled as a PhD Student in Plant Breeding and Molecular Genetics at the Plant and Soil Science Department at Texas Tech University, Lubbock. I work as a Research Assistant under Dr. Rosalyn Shim at Shim Lab, TTU. My research focuses on the utilization of distant relatives of cultivated species to reintroduce genetic variation in the gene pool and enhance agronomic performance through genetic, genomics and biotechnological tools.
