Rashi Tyagi
My research focuses on plant–microbiome interactions and the potential of beneficial
microorganisms to enhance crop resilience against biotic and abiotic stresses. The
overall goal is to develop sustainable microbiome-based approaches to improve plant
health, productivity, and stress tolerance in agricultural crops.

Ph.D. Students

Avinash Dhar
Research Focus: I explore how air microbes interact with the soil and plant microbes-Aerobiome
avdhar@ttu.edu

Pranav Kumar
Research Focus: I explore how warming and drought influence soil microbial diversity
and function across depth in boreal forests, using amplicon sequencing to uncover
the microbial drivers of soil carbon feedback under climate change
