Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology

Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

Dr. Reddy was born and raised in Mahabubnagar, Telangana, India, within a family deeply connected to farming. Dr. Reddy embarked on his academic journey by enrolling in Acharya NG Ranga Agriculture University (currently known as Prof. Jayashankar Agriculture University) in Hyderabad, India, where he earned a B.Sc. in Agriculture. This foundational degree provided him with a comprehensive understanding of agricultural principles and practices. After that he pursued an M.Sc. in Agronomy from University of Agriculture Sciences, GKVK Bangalore, India.
Seeking new opportunities and experiences, Dr. Reddy made the decision to migrate to New Zealand. He enrolled in a Ph.D. program in Precision Agriculture at Massey University. Upon the successful completion of his Ph.D., joined the university as a scientist, he focused on developing precision agricultural technologies in grasslands and horticulture areas. Dr. Reddy's primary goal was to support farmers in enhancing their food production capabilities while minimizing the environmental impact of their operations. His work aimed to find innovative solutions to address the challenges faced by the agricultural industry in a rapidly changing world.
In 2023, Dr. Reddy seized an exciting opportunity to expand his horizons by moving to Australia and joining the prestigious Australian Plant Phenomics Facility. This transition allowed him to collaborate with experts in the field of plant phenotyping, further deepening his understanding of how plants respond to different environmental stimuli and stressors.
