Personal profile
Research interests
I am an applied entomologist and currently working as Research Technician at Macquarie University. I have a keen interest in the behavioral ecology of pests and its utilization in IPM techniques. My past projects focused on the interactions among different trophic levels of an agroecosystem. Before joining Macquarie university I worked on Khapra emergency program with DPI.
