Position: Postdoctoral fellow. I completed my Ph.D. from the CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India, specializing in plant molecular biology and abiotic stress research. My doctoral research focused on developing single and double transgenic plants to enhance abiotic stress tolerance.

Position: Doctoral Research Scholar. I completed my Master of Science in Biotechnology degree from Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, India. My dissertation title and subject is Metabolic profiling and scavenging activities in Kappaphycus alvarezii under salinity stress. I’m a doctoral student at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev at sde-boker in Israel, where I specialize in agriculture and biotechnology for dryland ecosystems. Under the guidance of Dr. Gilad Gabay, my research focuses on

Position: M.Sc. Student. I hold a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (B.Agr.Sc) degree from the Yezin Agricultural University, Myanmar (2011-2016) and a Diploma in Advanced Agriculture from the Ramat Negev International Training Centre for Advanced Agriculture, Israel (2018-2019)

Position: Master's Student. I hold a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Agriculture from the Bharatiya Engineering Science and Technology Innovation University Anantapur, AP, India. I am a Master’s student specializing in Agriculture and Biotechnology for Dryland Ecosystems at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, under the guidance of Dr. Gilad Gabay. My research focuses on drought tolerance and chilling requirements in olive cultivars, particularly MLL1 and MLL7 genotypes, exploring their physiological,

Position: Lab manager. I received my doctorate in Plant Physiology from the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. My research focused on constructing a nitrogen driven single plant growth model. I used toroidal arrays of these plants to explore questions of nutrient heterogeneity and plant survival. From there I moved into rhizosphere research and spent the next ten years working in this fascinating field.I moved to Israel with my family in 2011 and joined Ben Gurion University in 2013. I’m a passionate birder
