I am a dedicated researcher specializing in the field of Solanaceae crop improvement, with a primary focus on chili (Capsicum spp.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) breeding and production technology. My expertise lies particularly in conventional breeding techniques, where I work to develop new cultivars with enhanced yield, disease resistance, and superior quality traits, tailored to the needs of both local and international markets. Through traditional methods such as selection, hybridization, and field evaluation, my research aims to deliver varieties that are not only productive but also resilient to prevalent pests and diseases. I am also interested in evaluating and integrating innovative crop management practices to further boost productivity and sustainability in chili and tomato production. In addition to my research activities, I actively collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and industry partners to ensure that scientific advancements translate into tangible benefits for farmers and the broader agricultural sector. My commitment lies in promoting food security, supporting local communities, and advancing the scientific understanding of Solanaceae crops to meet future agricultural challenges.

My passion for research is driven by a desire to improve food security and support farming communities through the development of improved chili and tomato varieties using conventional breeding methods. The opportunity to address real-world challenges such as disease resistance and sustainable production motivates me to seek research grants and collaborate with diverse teams. In the next five years, I aspire to be recognized as a leading expert in Solanaceae crop breeding, translating my research into practical solutions that benefit both local farmers and the broader agricultural sector.
