Summary
A dedicated and detail-oriented PhD student with a strong interdisciplinary background in Applied Medical Science and Agricultural Science from the University of Sydney. I completed a First-Class Honours degree in Agricultural Science, focusing on wheat responses to heat stress under varying CO₂ conditions. My current PhD research investigates high-temperature-tolerant wheat varieties to improve wheat grain quality in Australia. I also have experience as a teaching assistant, supporting student learning and facilitating communication between students and academic staff. I bring strong analytical skills, practical research expertise, and a commitment to delivering high-quality scientific work.
