My area of expertise has focused on developing and implementing effective solutions and a sustainable management program for insect pests. I have been involved in current research into pest problems in agricultural crops and horticulture, studying biology and ecology, particularly plant extractions, essential oils, biopesticides, chemical ecology, and the chemical ecology and behavior of insect pests and their natural enemies on host plants.
