Overview of Current Program

My research program focuses on plant-soil interactions under abiotic stress, examining how water limitation, nutrient imbalance, and emerging soil contaminants shape plant physiology and nutrient homeostasis. I explore how environmental stress alters soil-plant processes using synchrotron-based spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and machine learning-enabled multi-omics approaches. Through this integrative framework, my work aims to identify molecular and metabolic drivers of crop resilience and advance sustainable agriculture.
