I conduct research on the plant-fungal symbiosis known as arbuscular mycorrhizas,  investigating how they can improve plant zinc and phosphorus nutrition on nutrient-depleted soils. I am particularly interested in the potential agricultural applications of arbuscular mycorrhizas, and use important crops such as legumes, rice, wheat and sorghum in my research.

I’m currently an Assistant Professor at Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands.
