My research interests are focused on the ecology and management of insect pests of crops. I am particularly interested in working in a multifaceted approach to pest management research examining pest control, evaluating the factors that affect pests’ population and distribution dynamics, and assessing insecticide resistance. I am also interested in working directly with farmers and other stakeholders to conduct mission-oriented research.
