Courses
- ENT 501: Seminar
- Classical biological control of exotic weeds using arthropods and pathogens, post-release target weed and non-target effects assessments, plant invasion mechanisms, bio-geographical comparative studies of invasive plants, herbivore insect-plant interactions, plant-mediated interactions between biological control agents, soil mediated interactions between invasive plants and native vegetation as part of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.
- Areas of expertise include foreign exploration research, host-specificity testing techniques, insect-plant interaction studies, herbivore insect behavior and plant ecology.
