Research Interests 

My current research is focused on the study of C transfer between various cover crop species and soil C sequestration. I will estimate the C transfer between monoculture cover cropping and diverse combination of cover crops. I would use 13CO2 labelling and X-ray computed tomography technique to determine the C source and transfer among different cover crop species. My Master’s experience includes the study of tillage and crop rotation impacts on soil hydro-physical properties, soil organic carbon stock, and X-ray CT measured soil pore properties.
