    Scientist Mentor: I will mentor teams of students online

  • Research Interests (300 words)
    I am very passionate about plant evolution - studying how a plant would transform itself to adapt to the new environmental conditions. My main research in school is to study the evolution of different sexes in flower (how the genus Schiedea evolve from having both male and female reproductive organ on one individual, to becoming different individuals with separate male and female reproductive organs). In summer 2023, I had a chance to study the evolution of wood as well! There's a genus Echium that is herbaceous - they look like grass - on the mainland, but they invaded the Canary Islands and grow into shrubs and trees! With all my experience thus far, I wish to pursue a research career to study evolutionary plant biology where phylogeny (mapping out family trees for plants) and morphology/anatomy intersect.
