We have been happy to host Dr. Dilfuza Egamberdieva, research associate at
the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), Germany,
and Head of the Research Lab at the National University
of Uzbekistan here in Helsinki. Dilfuza is a renowned environmental
microbiologist and soil scientist. The main focus of her research is
directed toward an understanding of the structural and functional
organization of plant and soil microbial communities under various
environmental ecosystems and their role in soil fertility and crop
productivity. Since 2015 she is involved in biochar research,
particularly as a beneficial soil amendment, and its impact on crop
productivity. She has joined our lab activities and supports research, particularly she contributes to our oil shale ash recycling work.

Dr. Dilfuza Egamberdieva has studied plant and soil microbial communities under various environmental ecosystems, including Aral sea watershed. |
In early June 2022 we had several seminars where Dr. Egamberdieva shared both her latest research and also advice for early career researchers on how to establish and keep alive successful research networks across the globe. As she has co-authored over 200 publications and belongs among the top 1 % of active reviewers according to Publons, her insights were really inspiring for us! In the research seminar, she shared her latest research on how biochars have been found to enhance legume-rhizobium symbiosis in challenging environments. Different biochars have different effects, and according to her experience, HTC hydrochar made of maize silage can be rather promising solution under many conditions. Hope to share soon our joint publications!
