Shishir Kanti Talukder joined the TeCSIS Research Team as a PhD student in Fall 2025 with a Distinguished Graduate Student Assistantship (DGSA) from Texas Tech University. His research focuses on salinity stress screening and the physiological, molecular, and metabolomic characterization of multiple crops, including sorghum, cotton, and pearl millet, using hydroponic systems. His work emphasizes the identification of stress-tolerant genotypes and a better understanding of the physiological, genetic, and molecular mechanisms underlying salinity stress tolerance across crops. In parallel, he is involved in controlled-environment greenhouse research to dissect sorghum responses to salinity, drought, and combined salt and drought stress at key developmental stages.
Before joining Texas Tech University, he completed his M.S. in Agronomy at Bangladesh Agricultural University and his B.Sc. in Agriculture at Noakhali Science and Technology University. His broader research interests include crop stress physiology; tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses; greenhouse and hydroponic-based phenotyping; and the identification of stress-tolerant germplasm and traits to support resilient crop production systems.
