Research Interests

My research focuses on the circadian rhythms in plants and their impact on plant physiology and development. I investigate the molecular and genetic mechanisms that regulate the circadian clock in plants, exploring how these rhythms influence various physiological processes such as photosynthesis, growth, and flowering. I aim to understand how the synchronization of internal biological clocks with external environmental cues enhances plant fitness and productivity. My research has potential applications in agriculture, where optimizing circadian rhythms could lead to improved crop yield and stress resilience.
