Cultivating the Future: Angelia Tanu

WA Agricultural Research Collaboration Season 2 Episode 2

Guest: Angelia Tanu
Host: Yunlong Huo

In this episode of Cultivating the Future, Yunlong Huo chats with Angelia Tanu.

Angelia is a CSIRO and The University of Western Australia (UWA) PhD student whose journey into agricultural science began far from the paddock, growing up in Indonesia and discovering a passion for research after moving to Western Australia. A former tennis athlete who represented UWA at UniNationals, Angelia completed both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at UWA and has worked across DPIRD, Murdoch University, CSIRO, InterGrain and UWA. 

Angelia’s current PhD tackles one of Australia’s most costly crop constraints - poor canola establishment - by investigating the genetics and physiology behind longer hypocotyls to enable more reliable deep sowing. Drawing on genomics, breeding, bioinformatics, and physiology, her work aims to improve canola resilience as climates become more variable and input pressures increase.
