MS-thesis student
In August 2023, I joined the lab as a semester project student where I worked on multiple cloning techniques. Currently on understanding thermopriming mediated acquired thermotolerance in Arabidopsis.
Apart from my studies, I like playing volleyball and love music.

Lohitha Cheenepalli
Project Associate
I joined the lab as a semester project student in 2021 and completed my MS-thesis in 2022. In 2023, I started working at the lab as a Project Associate under USDA-FAS funded project. I am working towards employing Thermopriming as a tool to enhance heat stress tolerance in rice. In my free time, you can find me sketching.

Boddu Tejaswini
Project JRF
I joined the lab in August, 2023 as a Junior Research Fellow in a project funded by SERB, DST. Cognizing the plant response patterns under stress for developing climate smart varieties is my research of interest. Currently exploring the thermo-tolerance mechanisms in Arabidopsis. In my free time you can find me listening to songs and trying out new things.
