Biography
I am a Norwich Research Park Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership (NRPDTP) CASE PhD student in Jose de Vega’s group.
My research focuses on uncovering the genomic basis of cold tolerance in white clover in order to improve current cultivars. In collaboration with the breeding company Germinal, we aim to enhance white clover’s potential as a nitrogen-rich crop for temperate regions, therefore reducing the need for chemical inputs in agriculture.
Before joining the Earlham Institute, I completed a master’s degree in Landscape Ecology at the University of Hohenheim, Germany, where I studied the role of genomic structural variants in the rapid speciation of bee orchids.
I also hold a bachelor’s degree in Life Science from National Taiwan University, where I explored population dynamics of fishes to inform sustainable fisheries management.
