Damilola OLANIPON
Postdoctoral position
My research interests include plant ecophysiology, soil ecology, and environmental biotechnology, with a focus on the sustainable management of plant and soil resources. I am particularly interested in plant-microbe interactions within agricultural and forest ecosystems, soil carbon sequestration, and the application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to enhance plant health and resilience. My work aims to contribute to sustainable agriculture and environmental management strategies in the context of climate change.
