Research Interests

My research interest focuses on two main areas:

1. We are developing 3D structures for efficient and cost-effective (photo) electrochemical energy production. And for water purification via a large-scale and cheap process.

2. We are developing nano-agriculture technology to enhance the germination rate and increase the crop's biomas

Research Interests

In my research I integrate experimental ecology and crop science with high-throughput genomics and bioinformatics to study the genetics of adaptation, speciation and domestication in crop plants and their wild relatives. Much of my work focuses on identifying the genetic changes that underlie the formation of new varieties and species, and more generally, the genotype-phenotype-environment interaction. Current projects include: 1) Domestication genomics in sunflower 2) Introgression and adaptation in sunflower 3) Genomic basis of perenniality in cereals 4) Evolutionary genomics and adaptation in wild barley
