Research Profiles
My Links
I am a senior researcher at the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) and extraordinary lecturer at the Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI) at the University of Pretoria. I earned my PhD degree in Plant Pathology from the University of Pretoria in 2014. Since then, I have been involved in research on various plant hosts, and the output and research impact in the area of fungal pathogens have increased significantly.
My research involves the characterization of plant pathogenic fungi, mainly focusing on three pathogen groups: Botryosphaeriales and Diaporthales (Ascomycetes) and Peronosporales (Oomycetes). All these groups are amongst the most widespread, common and important fungal pathogens of perennial and annual plants.
Current research
I am currently the principle investigator of the below projects:
- Identification of dieback causal agents on Macadamia
- DNA Barcoding Botryosphaeriales Isolates of the PPRI Collection
- Investigating and identification of Phytophthora spp. on Papaya trees
- Wheat blast and other emerging pathogens
