Biography
I am a postdoc in the Department of Plant Sciences, working on plant fibre and pigments. I have backgrounds in plant development, biotechnology, and genetic breeding. I am keen on developing versatile technologies to explore fundamental biological questions.
Research
I have three main interests in biology:
1, how are natural pigments synthesized and metabolized?
2, how do plant trichomes and fibre develop?
3, Can we leverage our understanding of natural pigments and fibre to develop environmentally friendly products for a sustainable future?
