|---|---|---|
| 2025/07/10 - 2025/07/10 | Harvest control in sweet orange by guiding the labor to selectively harvest designated plants, maintaining separation of fruit by line (4 lines × 4 replications of 10 plants = 40 plants/line). Collected 5 replications of fruit weight (25 fruits each) per replication. The data will be used to evaluate the water stress effect on fruit growth and yield. | Universidade do Algarve Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Portugal |
| 2025/03/03 - 2025/04/15 | Collection of sweet orange flowering data in the Algarve region of Portugal to evaluate whether climate change is reducing flowering intensity to a level that may limit yield under Mediterranean Basin conditions. | Universidade do Algarve Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, Portugal |
| 2019/01/28 - 2019/04/30 | I completed a mandatory internship at the Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute (AARI), Faisalabad, at the end of my bachelor's degree. During this time, I studied and learned various modern techniques, including tissue culturing and bioinformatics. | Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Pakistan |
