Professional Responsibilities and Activities

• My research mission is to advance solutions for the challenge areas of arthropod-borne disease prevention, pollinating insect protection, and beneficial insect conservation. My research vision is to improve human, animal, and environment health through the transformative power of the entomological and chemical sciences. My research program spans from basic to applied studies in insect physiotoxicology using toxicology, biochemical, electrophysiology, genomic, and molecular biology approaches to discover chemical modes of action and circumvent resistance mechanisms for pathogen-transmitting arthropods and mitigate agrochemical exposure risk to beneficial insects. My research goals are achieved with an established and sustained internationally reputable research program and the development of cohesive collaborations within the US and around the world.
