  I am a geneticist and a plant breeder with more than a decade of experience in rice breeding. During this time, I have worked extensively in South and Southeast Asia with a target of developing high yielding stress-tolerant rice varieties for the region. More recently, my focus has expanded to Africa as well. Plant abiotic stress tolerance is my main interest with rice being the focus crop. I have worked on genetics and physiology underlying high yield under drought in the past and have developed drought-tolerant versions of several popular rice varieties. I have worked extensively on QTL mapping, fine mapping, characterization, and introgression. More recently, my focus has changed to developing flood-tolerant rice varieties which include varieties with high anaerobic germination and those with tolerance to submergence and stagnant flooding. I have been the regional breeding lead for South East Asia and also running the direct-seeded rice breeding program at the International Rice Research Institute. At present, I lead the direct-seeded rice breeding program for developing short-duration rice varieties. I am also leading the market segment and product concept development activities for mapping breeding programs into priority areas. International Rice Research Institute
