I am Ahmad Zia Khan, an Erasmus+ Scholarship holder under the SEA-EU Alliance and a joint PhD candidate at the Faculty of Science and Technology (FCT), University of Algarve, and the Institute of Research and Advanced Training (IIFA), University of Évora, Portugal. My PhD course is Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture (Horticulture) in 2019 and my Master’s degree in Agriculture (Horticulture) in 2021 from the University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan. Additionally, I have served as a visiting researcher at the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) Adelaide, Australia, under the European Funded Project vWISE (Vine and Wine Innovation through Scientific Exchange). With a strong foundation in horticulture and agronomy, my expertise focuses on crop yield and quality, abiotic stress management, and crop uniformity. I am passionate about developing sustainable agricultural solutions and advancing global agricultural practices to meet the challenges of climate change and food security.

Expedição científica

Descrição da atividade Instituição / Organização
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, Paquistão
