PHD PROJECT
In 2018, I started my PhD in Plant Pathology as a member of RGE-FABI Tree Health Programme (RGE-FABI THP) and Tree Protection Co-operative Programme (TPCP). For my PhD, I am investigating the biotic factors associated with an unknown die-back disease on eucalypts so far called Eucalyptus Little Leaf Syndrome (ELLS) in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This is conducted using the combination of traditional culturing techniques and high-throughput environmental sequencing.
MSC PROJECT
I first joined FABI family in 2016 as a Master student. In 2018, I completed my MSc. in Plant Pathology under the supervision of Prof. Michael J. Wingfield, Dr. Irene Barnes and Prof. ShuaiFei Chen with the dissertation entitled "New species of Calonectria and Cylindrocladiella from Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia".
