Ali is a wonderful hardworking student that consistently showed up to meetings early. In the lab he was always on time, was mindful of the other occupants, and was a joy to work with. He successfully completed the task, and also went beyond the project by offering us advice on how to proceed with identifying a pathogen that we were having troubles with. Mortuza will be a great addition to any lab.

Team feedback
Ali did amazing work. He successfully isolated Fusarium, Sclerotinia, and got a good start on Botrytis. Having these cultures will allow us to develop and validate our assays for them. He did this using a non-specific plating and sub culturing technique. He did this over 200 times to get those isolates. He also used the Pathoscan device and provided valuable feedback on its performance.
