I did my graduate-level degree in Environmental technologies, specializing in ecosystem technologies. I completed my PhD degree in the department of Botany specializing in plant ecology and ecofysiology. During my studies I focused mainly in measuring early and late successional tree fine root acclimation mechanisms in response to different environmental changes. Plant roots are very dynamic, sensitive to changes and well also very beautiful to work with.  The carbon fluxes in the rhizosphere are also affected by the changes in soil or even in the atmosphere. Hence the importance to know the direction of changes in future climate. In addition, we are trying to find new ways to measure plant root growth by using time and resource effective methods such as smart technologies and deep learning based programmes.
