About Me

Hey peeps, this is Kusumitha here! I am from Bengaluru; India, and I am in my first year of PhD in plant genetics. I speak various languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada!

I signed up to be a part of this amazing Advisory group to engage in real conversation to improve the mental health and well-being of students within UQ. I wished to be an advocate for student’s voices and this group has provided me a beautiful platform to express my views openly. I previously volunteered with several advisory groups and support programs at UQ, which set the pace for my social skills! I enjoy watching movies and learning scientific things. My research is focussed on bettering the knowledge about the Sorghum endosperm and extending that to make a better variety, ultimately improving food security for the world through a gluten-free food like Sorghum.

Feel free to contact me about any personal or professional issues that you think I may be able to solve. If you are looking for someone to represent your thoughts at the Advisory group table, feel free to reach out to me!
