I was born and raised in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and currently living in Sendai. I am enthusiastic about plant biology and particularly interested in how plants adapted to environmental changes from molecular and genetic perspective.

Recent Activities

My research focuses on plant-environment interactions. I conducting research to elucidate molecular mechanisms for climate adaptation in model legume plant, Lotus japonicus, controlled by natural variation. I also currently studying and conducting research on plant-microbe interactions, specifically to establish a synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) to elucidate the interactions between plant and associated-microbes.
