Research specialisations
Molecular interactions at the plant-fungal interface
Our research is focused on the interactions of pathogenic fungi and plants.
Parasitology
Parasites such as liver flukes cause major diseases worldwide, and drug resistance threatens fluke control.
Plant development and biotechnology
We are researching plant hormones, regulation of pollen development, and MYB genes and plant development.
Plant Pathology and Mycology
My research investigates plant pathology, focusing on management of pests and diseases of cocoa in Indonesia and diversity of macrofungi.
Plant-soil science
Research in this group focuses on soil and nutrient management, soil-plant interactions and the impacts of climate change on soil processes.
Plant-soil systems
Our research is focused on soil-plant-system interactions.
Subsoil manuring
This subsoil manuring project aims to develop economically viable techniques to ameliorate subsoils with physical constraints.
