Armin Mafakheri
Armin Mafakheri is a Ph.D. candidate in plant genetics at UC Davis, investigating how hops adapt to their environment. His focus is on breeding climate-resilient, low-input varieties, by researching population and quantitative genetics to understand local adaptation and support a more sustainable brewing industry. Armin collaborates with leading hop producers to translate genomic insights into breeding strategies and evaluate candidate lines under real-world constraints.
