PhD Candidate in Molecular Biology and Plant Pathology, The University of Queensland
I am a current PhD candidate in Molecular Plant Pathology at the University of Queensland, with my thesis focussing on RNA interference-mediated control and exploration of rust fungi. I have an Honours (Class I, Valedictorian) in Molecular Cell Biology, and a Bachelor of Science majoring in Plant Science and Genetics.
I have worked for more than 4 years as a research assistant in Molecular Biology, Plant Pathology, and Forest Pathology. I also have several years of experience as a teaching assistant in Genetics, Plant Biotechnology, and Plant Pathology.
I have published multiple peer-reviewed papers, spoken at conferences both within Australia and internationally, and participated in science communication and outreach through guest seminars and professional committee roles.
