About Me
My knowledge and skills are grounded by plant pathology, plant-pathogen resistance, phylogeny and bioinformatics. My significant strengths include molecular diagnosis, phylogeny, phylogeography, scientific writing, experimental design, scientific methodology, laboratory/field experiments ,data acquisition, data analysis, project management, networking, connecting different disciplines, oral presentation, creative thinking, growth mindset, motivation and science-based solutions. I also have excellent skills in communication, initiative, adaptability, focus, time efficiency, enthusiasm, persistence, organization, self- discipline, self-development, and easy- learning.
