Dr Ehsan Tavakkoli

• Biography/ Background

  Dr. Ehsan Tavakkoli is a Senior Mortlock Fellow at the School of Agriculture Food and Wine, University of Adelaide. His research focuses on the interactions between carbon and nutrient geochemistry in agricultural systems, combining soil science, environmental geochemistry, and plant science. With over 15 years of experience, he has led multidisciplinary research programs funded by GRDC, ARC, and the Australian Synchrotron. Dr. Tavakkoli's work encompasses projects ranging from the development of novel soil-based amendments and the amelioration of subsoil constraints to investigating soil nutritional chemistry. He maintains strong connections with growers, advisers, and grower groups, frequently presenting at industry forums.
