Pradip Poudel

I’m Dr. Pradip Poudel, a Postdoctoral Scholar at Penn State University working at the intersection of controlled-environment agriculture, crop physiology, and plant metabolomics. My research focuses on optimizing soilless and greenhouse production systems, improving resource efficiency, and enhancing the nutritional and metabolic profiles of vegetable and leafy crops in protected as well as field crop production system. I apply advanced analytical tools and data-driven experimental approaches to elucidate how environmental conditions influence plant performance, nutritional quality, and nutrient bioaccessibility.  

Thank you for visiting. I'm always open to collaborations in CEA, sustainable horticulture, and nutritional quality research.
