About me

I am an early career researcher in the field of agricultural sciences, specializing in the effects of pesticides on soil microbial functions and soil health. My work encompasses studying the interactions between pesticides and soil microbes, exploring their implications for soil health and ecosystem functioning. My dedication extends beyond academia, as I strive to translate my research into practical applications that benefit farmers, policy makers, and the agricultural industry.
