Background

My background is in the area of Plant Nutrition where I was trained under Professor Robin Graham and Dr Mike Webb at the University of Adelaide. The University of Adelaide is where I also completed my BAgSc and PhD. For most of my working life at the Waite Campus, I worked in the area of abiotic stress tolerance and in particular boron and zinc deficiency, and boron toxicity tolerance. With the advent of biofortification, I have worked for the past six years in this area of research.
