Professional Summary

Specialty: Rhizosphere biogeochemistry, Plant beneficial microbes, soil health modeling

Research

My research focuses on understanding soil microbial communities and functions in the rhizosphere environment, aiming to identify plant-beneficial microbes and their interactions for applications in biofertilization, disease suppression and bioremediation. I employ both biogeochemical analysis and genomic tools to characterize soil microbiome and its functional responses. Current research projects also focus on developing novel soil sensing tools, improving soil health modeling and application of soil microbiome management to mitigate risks of plant and human pathogens in agricultural systems.
