Hire Shubroto Kumar S.

United States

Agronomist, crop ecophysiologist, agricultural data analyst (R), field crop research designer, and manuscript writer.

Profile Summary

My research focuses on climate-smart crop production, nutrient management, plant-soil-environment interactions, leaf gas exchange, and root system architecture. I am currently a graduate research and teaching assistant at the University of Washington, Seattle, USA. I hold a bachelor's in Agricultural Science and a master's in Agronomy from Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), where I also serve as a faculty member in the Department of Agronomy. I have taught undergraduate courses at both BAU and the University of Washington and contributed to various field crop system projects. Outside of research, I enjoy traveling, music, and photography.
