Biography
I’m a PhD student on the Plant BioDesign UKRI Engineering Biology DFA programme. Through my project, I aim to improve the delivery of RNA molecules into plant cells, helping to unlock the potential of RNA-based approaches for crop improvement and sustainable agriculture. More broadly, I am interested in plant synthetic biology, gene regulation, and the development of innovative technologies that enable precise programming of plant traits. By integrating plant biology and computational approaches, I hope to contribute to the development of resilient and sustainable agricultural systems capable of meeting future environmental and food security challenges.
