To achieve these aims, I have accomplished post -graduate and undergraduate studie s in agricultur e / plant science, more specific ally in plant biotechnology. Moreover, I have gained practical knowledge and skill s in conducting scientific research, particularly in the area of genetics and plant breeding. While pursuing PhD and master’s d egree, the research projects hav e targeted the improvement in crop plants to combat crop production limiting factors, such as salinity and diseases. Conducting these research projects allowed me to gain knowledge and skill s in operati ng and maint aining of scientific laboratory techniques and equipment. I share and discuss the outcome of the research with the scientific and non -scientific communities. I am looking for the next opportunity within a scientific organisation, where I can bring real value and dev elop my skill further.

Root lesion nematodes causing significant damage in Australian wheat production. With the aim of reducing the damage, the PhD research project was undertaken to improve the resistance in wheat cultivars against this important pathogen. Breeder friendly molecular markers were developed for marker -assisted breeding, disease resistance candidate genes were identified, a cost -effective nematode quantification protocol was developed, the biological basis of root -pathogen interaction s w as investigated through metabolomics and microscopic studies.

Soil salinity is one of the major stress factors limiting crop p roduction in Australia. The two - year research project was undertaken for the improvement of salinity tolerance in wheat. Wheat lines were screened for salinity tolerance. A genetic linkage map was constructed using molecular markers and QTL analy sis identified two novel QTLs for sa linity tolerance in durum wheat. 2004 to 2005 Master of Science in Biotechnology Thesis title : Random amplified polymorphic DNA ( RAPD ) analysis in some indigenous aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars The DNA fingerprinting of the native rice varieties was performed to identify the genetic variability and to protect the intellectual property right s (IPR) of the cultivars Employment history Oct 20 - Present BASF Australia Ltd. 251 college Avenue, Longerenong, Vic 3400, Australia Position: Wheat Breeder • Develop new germplasm aligned with breeding program targets and breeding objectives. • Evaluate breeding populations, breeding lines and wheat germplasm under field conditi ons at multiple locations in Australia • Contribute and collaborate with international breeding teams to deliver new technologies and methods for enhanced breeding efficiency in the Australian market • Develop and maintain internal and external collaborations with R&D organisations and universities • Develop and maintain relationship with growers, contractors, and farming industries • Lead and maintain glasshouse operations and functions Oct 15 - Jan 20 The University of Adelaide Waite Campus, Plant Genomics Centre, Hartley Grove, Urrbrae, SA 5064, Australia Position: Technical Assistance (Agricultural Science) Duties: • Genetic analysis of wheat and chi ckpea • Collection and processing of experimental samples ( faba beans, chickpea) to improve crop production in Australia Achievement: Experience in conducting research in crop breeding programs in field, glasshouse and laboratory conditions; operation and maintenance of sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipm ent Oct 15 - Jun 19 Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) Plant Re search Centre, Waite Campus, Hartley Grove, Urrbrae, SA 5064 Position: Technical Assistance (Agricultural Science) Duties : • Assist in oat breeding program in South Australia, including genetic and phenotypic analysis • Evaluation of wheat, barley, oat lines for cereal cyst nematode resistance for the development of nematode resistant crop varieties. • Collection and processing of experimental materials (eg wheat, chickpea, faba bean and oat) from the field, glasshouse and controlled environmental condition .
