M.Sc. Asegidew Zebene
”I completed my master's degree in Global Change Ecology at the University of Bayreuth, with a specific focus on soil and agroecosystems. Throughout my studies, I had the opportunity to work at the chair of soil physics, where I conducted research on the physical properties of root mucilage in maize genotypes from various climatic regions. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD at the chair of root-soil interactions, Technical university of Munich. In my doctoral research, I am examining plant-soil water relations, placing particular emphasis on the role of root exudates in enhancing root water uptake during soil drying and promoting plant growth in the context of ongoing climate change.“
