Jag är agronom och doktorand inom växtpatologi. Titeln på mitt doktorandprojekt är: ”Epidemiologi och populationsbiologi hos Puccinia graminis för kontroll av svartrost i Sverige”. Inom projekt undersöker jag svartrostens biologi och epidemiologi för att kunna förstå vilka faktorer som är viktiga för spridning och prognostisering av svartrostangrepp.
