I am a postdoc researcher at St Louis University. My research focuses on how agricultural activities can change soil microbial diversity and functions, and how can soil microbiome can elevate soil health and productivity. The global overpopulation is imposing great challenges on the soil ecosystem. The application of synthetic fertilizers is not sustainable in the long term. Alternatively, soil microbes contain critical ecosystem functions that are often overlooked by traditional agricultural research. I am thrilled by the potential of my research on sustainable agriculture.
