Agricultural Consultant (PhD) | Plant Science, Environment & Green Technology

Profile Summary

I am a PhD-level Agricultural Consultant and Plant Scientist with expertise in plant science, plant–environment interactions, and sustainable agricultural systems. My work focuses on translating plant, environmental, and experimental data into robust insights for research projects, funded initiatives, and AgTech applications. I have hands-on experience across field, greenhouse, and controlled environment systems, including vertical farming and hydroponics, and have worked in Finland, Israel, Estonia, and India. My background includes participation in EU-funded research projects, where I contributed to experimental design, phenotyping, data analysis, and preparation of scientific and project deliverables within multi-partner, deadline-driven environments. My core strengths include experimental design, crop and plant stress analysis, plant–environment data interpretation, and scientific reporting. I also support projects with scientific writing, grant and proposal development, and structured documentation for funded research and innovation programs. In addition to systems-level plant science, I have a strong foundation in molecular biology and transcriptomic approaches, which I integrate when relevant to support physiological and environmental analyses. I am based in Finland and work globally, collaborating on short- and medium-term consulting assignments, research support, and interdisciplinary projects in agriculture, sustainability, and green technology.
