I am a Plant Stress Physiologist with a PhD in Plant Stress Physiology and extensive expertise in abiotic stress toleran

Profile Summary

I am a Plant Stress Physiologist (Ph.D., Panjab University) with extensive experience in abiotic stress tolerance research, including heat, drought, cold, and metal stresses. My expertise spans high-throughput phenotyping, crop physiology, reproductive biology, and biochemical assays for oxidative stress, antioxidants, osmolytes, carbohydrate, and nitrogen metabolism. I have hands-on experience with advanced plant research instruments (chlorophyll fluorometers, porometers, psychrometers, IR thermometers, SEM, fluorescence and stereomicroscopy) and have applied multi-omics approaches (transcriptomics & metabolomics) to identify stress-resilient genotypes. My doctoral research focused on large-scale screening of chickpea genotypes, leading to publications in international peer-reviewed journals such as Plant Stress, Scientific Reports, and Frontiers in Plant Science. Proficient in R and Excel for statistical and multivariate analysis, I bring a strong record of delivering high-quality, data-driven insights in plant–environment interactions and crop stress physiology.
