RESEARCH INTERESTS:

Insect Reproduction

RESEARCH SUMMARY:

Insect physiologist interested in host/parasite interactions and rearing of lepidopteran hosts and their parasites, and diapause physiology. Toxicologist interested in insect growth regulators that selectively kill target pests without harming beneficial arthropods, especially in aquatic systems.
