Biography
After obtaining my MSc degree, in crop production ecology, from Wageningen University, the Netherlands I moved to Ireland where I got a PhD degree in plant ecophysiology and biogeochemistry from Trinity College Dublin, Botany department then, joined the department as a postdoc. I moved to the University of Aberdeen, School of Biological Sciences to work as a research fellow/modeller in 2012. I have been working/collaborating on different national, European and international projects to conduct interdisciplinary research studies/modelling on greenhouse gas emissions from soil, carbon and N biogeochemistry, land-use change, sustainability and climate change mitigation and adaptation. I have extensive experiences in measuring, monitoring, accounting, reporting and modelling greenhouse gas emissions, soil carbon sequestration, climate change mitigation and adaptation, land-use planning and nutrient management to achieve agricultural sustainability.

Research Overview
My research interests include process based biogeochemical modeling, global change impacts on ecosystems, agricultural strategies to mitigate climate change, and agricultural sustainability.
Collaborations
I am collaborating with the Greenhouse gas Reseach groups in Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin and Teagasc in Ireland.
Supervision
I am currently open to considering PhDs in Environmental Modelling. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss your research ideas in more detail.
I also have three PhD proposals available for adoption:
-
Modelling Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Scottish Agriculture: Implications for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation.
-
Optimizing Winter Cereal Crop Efficiency and Water Conservation in Scotland's Ever-Changing Climate.
-
Enhancing Waste Management and Recycling Systems through Machine Learning.
