I have 13 years experience after my PhD in the field of genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and advanced phenomics. Extensive experience in the field trials and plant physiology. My main working crop is forage grasses, where the grasslands are dormant in Europe. I also worked on other species like Enset, Potato, Sweetpotato, Poinsettia etc.

keywords: population genetics, genomics, bioinformatics

Relevant publications: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mallikarjuna-Rao-Kovi

Ongoing projects:
Recently I got funded from Norwegian Research Council for the project: "DLT-Farming: Data-Led Transformation Solution for Sustainable Forage Grass Farming using Robotics, Energy-Efficient Sensors and Genomics"., with a value of nearly 1 million Euro. This project mainly focusing on Nitrogen use efficiency and its effects on yield and quality of grass.

Further, I am also involved in EditGrass4Food project, NextTim project, SafeKelp

I would like to join in plant biodiversity projects, where I can contribute with my competence in plant genetics, population genetics, genomics, and bioinformatics. Further, we can do the field trials in Norway.
