Current Research

My research focus on behavioural and evolutionary ecology. Current research explores how nutrition influences contest behaviour in parasitoid wasps. This is achieved with the use of Metabolomics platform technologies such as NMR and other analytical chemistry techniques. Our model system are Goniozus spp. wasps that they are parasitic on caterpillar larvae.

Past Research

Past research was centered on the use of parasitoid wasps for biological control of insect pests, Citrus Intergrated Pest Management, and behavioral ecology of parasitoid wasps.
