I am a CERC Fellow and part of the CSIRO Winanga-y Postdoctoral Fellowship. For my project, I am investigating the use of the leguminous crop Lupin as a multi-use crop for mixed farming systems in Western Australia, utilising the legacy of lupin germplasm available at CSIRO. The project is part of the broader farming systems research at multiple sites at CSIRO. The project seeks to build on the current knowledge and identify gaps for further utilisation of lupin cultivars to improve farming systems in WA and beyond.

I was part of a CRC-P project on Medicinal Cannabis, where I was responsible for the analysis of cannabis and hemp varieties for Cannabinoids by HLPC-QTOF-MS, terpenoid by GC-MS and validation of THC & CBD content for the industry by GC-FID. I was also involved in method development including method validation, and provided expert matter input to Msc and PhD projects, and peer reviewed journal articles.

My PhD project was an investigation into developing an approach to improve and contribute to the information database on nutritional, genetics and pre-breeding aspects of underutilized crops using bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) as a model species with comparative analysis to related legumes such as chickpea, cowpea, mungbean, and soybean. Chapters included 1) a comprehensive literature review on nutritional knowledge of bambara groundnut to the four comparator species, 2) analysis of food composition tables and the development of a nutritional data framework which contributed to the development of the Crop Dietary Nutritional Ontology (CDNO) 3) nutritional analysis of 100 core genotypes from Africa and Asia 4) pre-breeding selection indices for simultaneous improvement of nutritional content and yield parameters for Barbara groundnut

BamYIELD is one of five research programmes at CFF, and it is, essentially a model international underutilised legume research and breeding programme using bambara groundnut as the exemplar species. We are starting with a semi well known underutilised legume - the bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea) as our exemplar species to develop methodologies which then be translated to other underutilised legumes such as winged bean (phoshocarpus tetraglobulus). We design and implement all projects using "research value chain" (RVC) approach in BamYIELD; all projects fit into one or more theme within the RVC, and requires participation from multiple partners and collaborators both internally and externally. BamYIELD is a multicomponent programme, with all projects running stimultaneously to achieve the outcome of higher yielding, more environmentally suited and resilient bambara groundnut leading to increased food security and income generation by subsistence and small-scale farmers, which we believe will positively impact global food and nutritional security As programme manager, I manage projects on nutrition and product development, maintain our information database, develop and run our websites while engaging with all stakeholders to ensure the outcome of BamYIELD is achieved. I also participate in all projects which come under the BAMYIELD umbrella at CFF, and constantly work with other CFF colleagues to achieve the objectives of our multi component projects. I also act as point of contact, and present our group's research to visitors - everyone from ministers, heads of CG centres, scientists, students and laymen.

Working at CDRD was by far the best co-op term i had...it opened my eyes to the actual real life world of medical drug R&D. Based in the beautiful campus of University of British Columbia, CDRD is the first of its kind to be the interface between scientific discovery and drug development to reach market and end user. The projects I worked on included Diabetes SSTR2 antagonist, drug developement and testing for compounds to treat Huntington's Disease. I was also involved in pilot study for Murine Thigh Infection Model to develop a drug to treat MRSA

Final semester, as an elective, I decided that fungal genetics would be more interesting than another elective where i had to go for lectures and sit for exams. So i spent 4 months isolating and genotyping Ophiostoma Ulmi, the fungus that causes Dutch Elm Disease prevalent in Canada. My "part time" work contributed to a PhD project and data was included for the DED survey for the city of Winnipeg, where the samples came from.

Spent the summer of 2010 looking for DFR mutant B.napus plants that were blasted with EMS (TILLING method). Isolated DNA and verified mutant strains for use as parents in future cross to create homogenous line of canola plants that would hopefully yield yellow seeds instead of the black sees. My summer project was part of a bigger nation wide canola project: DOTM - Designing Oil for Tomorrow's Market. Was proud to be part of such an amazing team of scientist!Also did mass genome sequencing of flax seed, and some work on Arabidopsis,& Flax Seed

Weekly micro QA/QC for all freshly produce products at Thirfty Food's Kitchen (meat products, salads, dips, fried then frozen meals), calibration of food thermometers and utensil sterilisation to prevent outbreak of food borne diseases. Improved on current surface swabbing methods for identification of possible food borne pathogens in work and machinery surfaces.
