Profile

Biography

I focus on growing plants in controlled environment facilities, tailoring specific protocols to optimize crop growth and sustainability. By designing precise light recipes, and irrigation and fertigation techniques, I aim to accelerate growth and enhance plant quality while minimizing energy use. My goal is to make these systems efficient and sustainable by translating our research knowledge in plant science into practical, scalable technologies to address global challenges in agriculture.
