Objectives
To be part of a team improving agriculture and ensuring global food security through innovation and development

Research Interest
─ Comprehend plant pathogens population dynamics vis-a-vis changing climate on pathogen population, resilience of plant resistance and to seek for more sustainable management strategies
─ Build and implement high-throughput phenotyping and diseases quantification techniques for rapid screening and to improve selection efficiency of breeding programs
─ Early disease detection by implementing low cost hyper spectral imaging, pattern recognition by computer vision, and artificial intelligence (AI) for automated disease detection/quantification to feed into DSS.
─ Multi-location hotspot trails, controlled environment screening of breeding materials, as well as molecular markers for efficiently select the right plants and conditions that contribute to better yields and stress response
─ Disease risk distributions mapping, rapid response services and application of R statistical programme for data analysis
