Really fascinated by the idea of "cool earth via soil microbes" and would like to contribute the final, ambitious goal of "zero-fertilizer"!

My research interests are comparative genomic analysis and recently, third generation sequencing technologies. I wish to contribute to the project by exploring new informatic methods to study the soil microbial structural in greater detail.

The Moonshot (MS) project presents me a platform to deepen my research outlook, collaborations and engagements. This is in addition to being actively involved in the pursuit of greenhouse gas emission reductions -particularly methane (CH₄)- from rice paddies while maintaining and improving rice productivity. Truly, I am humbled to be part of a vibrant, ambitious and future conscious team.

Moonshot (MS) project is an excellent opportunity to work on an exciting research topic while gaining the research skills I want to learn in my career. The idea of being an active part of an ambitious project that aims to achieve 80% reduction of greenhouse gas (GG) emission by 2050 is just thrilling. I am so excited that MS will give me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge in the field of materials dynamics in the ecosystem and understand the processes that control their distribution in the various spheres of the environment using cutting edge technology. In fact, I will be focusing on tracking the GG fluxes and studying their production and consumption mechanisms by using the isotopomer ratios. Moreover, I am eager to collaborate with a big team of eminent researchers from various backgrounds like biology and agriculture to contribute to GG reduction from agricultural soils where rice and soybean are planted. I believe that union makes power so that we hopefully can together find practical solutions based on scientific evidence to protect the environment from global warming without compromising food security.
