My wide research interests include plant responses to abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, flooding, heat, heavy-metals, and nutrient deprivation),  phyto–remediation and Nano-remediation of polluted soil,  forest restoration and modelling of invasive plant species. I am passionate about this current trajectory of my research because of the danger environmental changes pose to the diversity of our world’s flora and fauna, and especially our food security.

​

In the course of pursuing my research in these areas, I have found the use of nanotechnology to be an effective solution for plant resilience and performance under abiotic stress. Overall, I hope that my research will help to address some of the challenges environmental change poses to food security in my country (Nigeria), Africa and the world at large. Ultimately, I hope to inspire the next generation of female scientists in the largely patriarchal African societies.
