Stéphanie Swarbreck
Stéphanie is interested in understanding how crops
respond to nutrient availability. Her research aims to provide useful information for the development of crop varieties (especially wheat) that can produce high yield with lower fertiliser inputs. Through collaboration with Ethiopia and India, she has strong interest in millet species (e.g. foxtail millet, pearl millet and finger millet) as well as tef (Eragrostis tef).
