Rich background in Plant microbes research, with strong interests in molecular science, bioinformatics and data analysis

Profile Summary

I'm currently pursuing a Masters' degree in Plant pathology (phytopathology) having graduated with a BSc. degree in Biochemistry in 2018 and worked in a Plant health institution i.e. plant diagnostics molecular laboratory for five years. My interests are in elucidating the fundamental questions around Fungal ecology and evolution. My current project is in diversity, aggressiveness and fungicide resistance of Fusarium soil-borne pathogens of soybean. I'm very curious to understand population distribution and genetic factors driving evolution in fungal ecosystems. This has contributed greatly to my desire to become a bioinformatician and a computational biologist. I'm also pursuing a crush course on Data science on IBM to solidify my skills in data analysis, data interpretation, machine learning and deep learning models.
