An EconoTimes perspective

Research Fellow, Waite Research Institute, University of Adelaide

Research Fellow, Waite Research Institute, University of Adelaide I research the plant-fungal symbiosis known as arbuscular mycorrhizas, especially investigating how they can improve plant zinc and phosphorus nutrition on nutrient-depleted soils. I am particularly interested in the potential agricultural applications of arbuscular mycorrhizas, and use important crops as model species in my research. I am an ARC DECRA and Future Making Fellow, based at The University of Adelaide's Waite Research Institute.
