I am interested in salt stress physiology and how stress affects plant architecture, starting from the root morphology to the biomass distribution between root and shoot. I have experience in high-throughput plant phenotyping and exploring the data using R, multivariate analysis, GWAS and machine learning approaches, as well as making graphic user interface apps, like MVApp, to enable others to do the same analysis, contributing to open and reproducible science.
