Junior specialist working towards understanding the drivers of adaptation in Populus trichocarpa, focussing on drought adaptation. Base: University of California, Davis (Field season)– University Of Southampton

Barfoots-funded PhD student working to understand the biological, chemical and physical nature of sweet corn post-harvest conditions. Base: University of California, Davis – University Of Southampton (field season)

Post Doctoral researcher working towards understanding the biochemical and biophysical basis of shelf life in lettuce, providing underpinning tools for molecular breeding funded by Vitacress salads, Sainsbury’s and Shamrock Seeds. Base: University of California, Davis

Postdoctoral researcher at UC Davis which started from May 2022. I focus on the poplar bioenergy project funded by the Department Of Energy (DOE) to undertake molecular analysis for RNA Seq and data analysis, network analysis and also establishing a tissue culture system for transient assays of gene expression for candidate genes, with a combination of wet laboratory and computer-based bioinformatics.

Caspar conducts interdisciplinary research in climate change mitigation, exploring the potential of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), a technology identified by the IPCC as crucial to meeting Paris Agreement targets. Base: University of California, Davis

Postgraduate researcher working towards enhance phosphate use efficiency and improve flavour in watercress. Base: University of California, Davis - University of Southampton (Field season)
