I currently lead the 'Plant-Microbiome' team at the Section of Microbiology. My research harnesses the potential of microbes in the plant-soil interface for Food & Ag applications. Our aim is to develop sustainable and systemic solutions that facilitate green transition of our food systems.
As a communicator, I am deeply involved in outreach and popular-science. I have organised diverse events- scientific conferences, research networks, workshops and activities in India, Sweden, Netherlands and Denmark.
I have a keen interest in agro-ecological problems, in the interface of microbial ecology, soil ecology, plant pathology, and chemical ecology.
This manifests a broad range of projects on- plant microbiomes, food safety, food production, soil health, waste valorization and circular argiculture, to name a few.
One of my projects is spinning out in the form of a start-up on biopesticide discovery. It invovles a large-scale isolation, characterization and screening campaign for novel soil bacteria to design small communities of microbes that can synergistically reinforce each other in order to prevent disease outbreaks.
Apart from research interests, I am also the co-founder and co-organizer of the BIO Postdoc Network, which is a support network for young researchers at UCPH. As part of which, I conceptualize, budget and organize both professional and social events for postdocs to develop, collaboroate and network.
