M.Sc. Jessica Tay
Research Interests / Project
- Biomechanical properties of plants
- Plant responses to mechanical stresses
My PhD is part of the project Epiphytes and wind in a changing world. I am particularly interested in studying the biomechanical responses of epiphytes in the face of wind; how different morphology and flexibility influences the streamlining effects. I will also quantify the innate roots tensile strength and attachment properties, to understand the mechanism of epiphytes’ attachment to their substrate.
