Sadikshya Poudel

Sadikshya Poudel is from the picturesque city Pokhara, Nepal. She completed her Bachelor’s in Agricultural Science from Tribhuvan University, Nepal, and a Masters Agronomy from Mississippi State University. Sadikshya joined Washington State University in the Fall of 2023 in Dr. Robert Brueggeman’s lab. Her research is focused on developing heart healthy/ biofortified naked food barley. It also has a component of gene discovery utilizing genetic and genomic approaches including molecular genetics and mutant tilling populations.

Apart from her academic pursuits, Sadikshya enjoys travelling, trekking, dancing as well as cooking. With her diverse interests and pursuits, Sadikshya’s story is one of curiosity, exploration, and making the most of every experience.
