Work involved photosynthetic characterisation and phenotyping of a broad survey of species in the Brassicaceae. Manuscript in progress. Key skills: gas exchange and fluorescence analysis using an open-gas exchange system, anatomical phenotyping using microscopy and imageJ software, metabolite profiling by gas-chromatography and mass spectrometry, isotope ratio mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.

Work involved establishing and phenotyping photosynthetic hybrids across diverse populations of the grass Alloteropsis semialata. This work contributed to a manuscript published in Ecology Letters.Key skills: manual crossing, gas exchange analysis using an open-gas exchange system, anatomical phenotyping using microscopy and imageJ software.

Work involved maintaining experimental wheat plots, collecting plant biomass data in situ and preparing mycorrhizal soil samples for laboratory analysis. Part of the ongoing project MycoRhizaSoil, which aims to explore the influence of crop genotype, tilling intensity, and mycorrhizal inoculum treatment on the symbiotic associations of wheat.
