Ulduz is a PhD scholar at the University of Queensland. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Agriculture and Plant Breeding, and completed a master's degree in Biotechnology. As an experienced molecular biologist and geneticist, Ulduz focuses her research on crop genetic improvement. For her PhD studies, she joined the School of Agriculture and Food Science at the University of Queensland in Australia, where her research project is related to investigating epigenetic contributors to major agronomical trait variation in sorghum. Ulduz plans to work with breeding programs to increase the adoption of new technologies for increased efficiency of crop improvement.
