Crop Improvement & Bioresources | Researcher
Erzurum,25

Summary

I am a researcher specializing in plant breeding, crop residue valorization, and sustainable agricultural practices. I conducted my doctoral research on nitrogen management in industrial crops and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Sweden, where I worked on bio-based agricultural inputs. My work integrates, statistical analysis with R, and interdisciplinary approaches to optimize crop performance. Through national and international collaborations, I aim to contribute to climate-smart, resource-efficient farming systems aligned with EU sustainability goals. My long-term goal is to bridge basic plant science with applied innovation to improve crop quality and environmental resilience.
