• PHD Candidate

  • 2015 - 2021

  My PhD-project aimed at unraveling the mechanisms underlying the controllability of the plant-water balance and determinants in tomato by light quality (provided by LED-lighting). During my time as a PhD candidate I further developed my skills as a researcher. I was able to formulate my own research questions, set up and design the experimental work and execute the data collection, analysis and interpretation. I found it compelling that an understanding on how light quality affects plant development will aid in the development of specific light recipes for growers. Show less

  • Jun 2015 - Sep 2015

  During my time as a research assistant I was responsible for conducting experiments aiming to understand the molecular network underlying the malfunctioning of stomata after long term exposure to high relative humidity. A high relative humidity during growth often results in a poor post-harvest performance for leafy vegetables and cut flowers due to uncontrolled water loss. The work consisted mainly of collaborating with the design of the experiment, performing the experiment, data analysis and reporting. Show less

  After my master thesis I did a follow-up project as a minor thesis. I showed that within a leaf, not all the stomata malfunction as a result of high relative humidity. These results can aid in the understanding of the molecular mechanism of stomatal malfunction.Due to the previous practical experience and deeper knowledge of the subject, I was able to work more independently on this thesis, which included designing, setting-up and testing my own experiments. Other day-to-day activities were generally similar to a master thesis. Show less
