About
Since July 2023 I have been a Research Assistant in the Robinson group, which studies plant growth and development from a mechanical perspective. In this role I carry out research and perform laboratory and plant maintenance tasks to support the goals of the group.
From October 2026 I will be commencing my PhD in the Robinson group, investigating the mechanisms underpinning plant responses to mechanical stress.
