  2. Dr Suzanne Donn

    Dr Suzanne Donn is investigating how plants and their root associated bacteria respond to soil warming, including interactions between wheat cultivars and the base climate scenario. Suzanne completed her PhD at the Scottish Crop Research Institute (now the James Hutton Institute), linking changes in nematode community structure to barley crop management strategies and comparing taxonomic […]

  3. Dr Sneha Gupta

    Dr Sneha Gupta is a Postdoc working in close collaboration with Michelle Watt and Prof Ute Roessner. She uses the microcosms, called ‘EcoFAB’ to test the effects of plants on the N movement from soil to plant without and with inhibitors (including the commercial inhibitors NBPT and DMPP) in Australian soils. Sneha just finished her […]

  4. Lisa Mau

    Lisa Mau is a graduate researcher in the Jülich-University of Melbourne Postgraduate Academy (JUMPA) with UoM and the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ) in Germany. Lisa’s PhD project brings together unicellular algae with wheat roots. Algal biomass contains nutrients, but unlike mineral fertilizer, in chemical forms that are not directly available to plants. She is using a mass-balance […]
