Stephanie Watts-Fawkes

(she/her)
Research Fellow, Waite Research Institute, University of Adelaide

I research the plant-fungal symbiosis known as arbuscular mycorrhizas, especially investigating how they can improve plant zinc and phosphorus nutrition on nutrient-depleted soils. I am particularly interested in the potential agricultural applications of arbuscular mycorrhizas, and use important crops as model species in my research.

I am an ARC DECRA and Future Making Fellow, based at The University of Adelaide's Waite Research Institute.
