About

I am an accomplished scientist with plant molecular biology, genetics, genomics, and controlled environment agriculture expertise. Over my career, I have developed enhanced crop lines in Maize, Strawberry, Potato, Mustard, and Maize through innovative genetic and transgenic approaches. As a Senior Lead Scientist at AeroFarms and Researcher in academia, I have led multidisciplinary projects funded by NSF, USDA, and industry partners, resulting in numerous high-impact publications and novel insights. My leadership extends to pioneering new cultivation systems for blueberries and mentoring teams in effective project management and collaboration.
