Current research and responsibilities
Postdoc researcher at the University of Helsinki, Finland, since 01 December 2019. Responsibilities in this position include Task 1. ERANET SusCrop project ‘ProFaba’: phenotyping acidity and aluminium responses of 200 Europe wide faba bean genotypes, and analysing existing data on drought responses of a recombinant inbred line population of faba bean.
Task 2. Assisting the coordination of the ERANET SusCrop project ‘LegumeGap’: managing meetings and communication within the consortium, conducting literature analyses related with management factors of faba bean production in Europe, and conducting the analysis of farmer survey data.
Task 3. Co-coordinator of WP3 InnoFoodAfrica, Horizon 2020 EU funded project: in which I am part of in exploring climate-smart African crops in Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa and Uganda. In this project, acidity and Al3+-toxicity tolerant faba bean genotypes that I identified during my PhD study, will be tested in Ethiopia under limed and un-limed soil conditions in the farmers field where soil acidity is the major bottleneck for faba bean production.
Task 4. Providing crop production courses for undergraduate and graduate students of Department of Agricultural Sciences.
