I am a passionate graudate student at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities conducting research on the biodiversity and abundance of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the state. My work primarily focuses on the composition of AMF as well as the soil characteristics that drive its diversity. I work under Devanshi Khokhani in her microbiology-focused lab.
