Research Interests
Global warming has causing food insecurity
Global atmospheric CO₂ concentrations and temperatures are predicted to continue to rise. These projected increases in CO₂ and T in turn cause global warming that tends to reduce yields because crops speed through their development, producing less grain in the process.
And higher temperatures also interfere with the ability of plants to get and use moisture. These have significant implication on food security for the already spiked world populations. Therefore, we need further research and development to tackle human-driven global warming and the impacts it causes on food security.
Some of my interests lie broadly in the following areas:
1. I'm interested on topics such as plant chemical ecology, ecosystem and community ecology, evolutionary biology, global change biology, bioinformatic, biogeochemistry of silica, terrestrial silica and carbon cycle etc.
2. Researching on plant adaptations to environmental changes such as Temperature and CO₂ is also areas of my interest
3. I am also keen to research on the impacts of silicon on plant defences against insect herbivores.
4. In a Broader context, I am very interested to assist in developing novel strategies that aim to improve plant resistance against both abiotic and biotic environmental factors in the face of environmental change, particularly global warming.
