Plant pathology, physiology, and plant–insect–virus interactions
About
Research centers on host–vector–virus dynamics and crop resilience, using proteomics, multi‑omics, and modeling to map plant responses. Develops rapid, in‑field gene delivery and biocontainment strategies to protect established crops and inform next‑generation protection platforms.

Multi-scale predictive model for plant stress response to drought and viral infection
A computational modeling framework that integrates cell-, tissue-, and plant-level models to quantitatively predict how crops respond to abiotic stress (drought) and biotic stress (viral infection). Designed to bring a s...
