Plant Ecophysiologist AND Fellow at Institute for Genomic Biology, UIUC
Incoming Assistant Professor at School of Integrative Plant Sciences, Cornell CALS
Mom | Daughter of an Indian farmer
Major Update!!! I will be joining as a tenure-track Assistant Professor at the School of Integrative Plant Science, CALS, Cornell University (Ithaca, NY), in the summer of 2025!
​
My field crop ecophysiology lab will use a multiscale approach (cells to whole plant) to identify traits and mechanisms that govern photosynthesis, growth, and water use in agriculturally important grasses AND translate this information towards developing ‘climate-resilient’ cropping systems.
I will be recruiting lab members at all levels (postdoc, graduate, undergraduate, technician). Do check again for specific job postings and project details in the coming months.
