Our Research Students' Videos

UniSQ PhD student Lauren Huth

Lauren applies whole genome sequencing and genome editing methods to decipher the secrets of hyperparasitic fungi that naturally destroy crop pathogens.

UniSQ PhD student Asfakun Siddika

Asfakun is focusing on beneficial microorganisms in the soil to enhance peanut production.

UniSQ PhD student Aurelie Quade

Aurelie is providing answers to corn growers and breeders in Australia to control maize common rust.

UniSQ PhD student Buddhika Dahanayaka

Buddhika's study is on fungal pathogens of barley that sometimes hybridize in the field, and could have a devastating effect on yield.

UniSQ PhD student Carmel Tenson Joseph

Carmel's research will help increase productivity of legumes by focussing on specific bacteria that live in their roots.

UniSQ PhD student Chamika Wijerathna

Chamika's research is trying to make zinc rich rice using nanotechnology.

UniSQ PhD student Chandima Kamaral

Chandima is identifying key processes that can increase the bioavailable zinc in wheat grain.

UniSQ PhD student Elaine Gough

Elaine explains how a healthy plant starts with healthy soil.

UniSQ Master's student Hannah Rostad

Hannah is battling root-lesion nematodes that invade, feed and reproduce in the roots of chickpeas causing yield losses.

UniSQ PhD student Jason Sheedy

Jason is delivering root-lesion nematode resistant wheat lines for farmers to increase their profitability in a sustainable way.

UniSQ PhD student Kim Khuy Khun

Kim is seeking more sustainable solutions to control insect pests in macadamia production.

UniSQ PhD student Neil Robinson

Neil is investigating new methods to identify wheat lines that yield well, despite being attacked by root-lesion nematodes.

UniSQ PhD student Prue Bottomley

Prue's research will provide a method to rapidly 'clean' experimental paddocks from pathogens in the soil.

UniSQ PhD student Rudrakshi Sharma

Rudrakshi is identifying the disease-causing genes in an important barley infecting fungus.

UniSQ PhD student Sonal Channale

Sonal is profiling the DNA of chickpeas to find the genes conferring resistance to root-lesion nematodes.

UniSQ PhD student Sudhan Shah

Sudhan is investigating the role of insect killing fungi to control wireworms in sweet potato fields.

UniSQ PhD student Tareq Al-Hidmi

Tareq is focussed on an exciting new way to control diseases in crops using beneficial fungi instead of chemicals.

UniSQ Honour's student Tarynn Potter

Tarynn is identifying plant pathogens to help growers better manage their sorghum crops.
