Research Interest:    I am particularly interested in plant genome engineering and synthetic biology applications, focusing on developing innovative methods and techniques for plant and microbe systems. I also want to broaden my research in cereal breeding for abiotic stress tolerance using plant physiology, molecular biology approaches, and advanced gene editing tools.
