I am a PhD researcher in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Western Australia, supervised by Professor Jacqueline Batley. My research focuses on understanding the genetic mechanisms that control phenology in Brassica napus and Brassica carinata, particularly how flowering-time genes influence adaptation, yield stability, and climate resilience.

Before joining UWA, I completed my Bachelor’s degree at Gopalganj Science and Technology, majoring in Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering, and my Master’s degree in Crop Genetics and Breeding at Huazhong Agricultural University, under the supervision of Professor Fan Chuchuan at the National Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Improvement, supported by a CSC scholarship. During my master’s, I worked extensively with CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in Brassica napus. My project involved generating male-sterile mutants for hybrid seed production by targeting key genes involved in pollen development. I also contributed to projects on herbicide-resistant and semi-dwarf rapeseed lines.

At UWA, my PhD work combines comparative transcriptomics, genome editing, GWAS/QTL analysis, and high-throughput phenotyping to investigate genotype–environment interactions and support predictive breeding in Brassica napus and Brassica carinata.

Beyond research, I am passionate about the natural world and have loved watching nature documentaries since childhood—an early inspiration for my interest in biological sciences. I am also interested in evolutionary biology, genetics, and neurobiology. In my free time, I sometimes go out with my camera to photograph birds.
