Over

Biological control of insects is a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture. Applying principles of insect learning, I work on training parasitoid wasps through olfactory conditioning to enhance the efficacy of mealybug biocontrol in greenhouse horticulture.

Biografie

I'm fascinated by the functional ecology of agro-ecosystems and its vital role in the ecological intensification of food production. As an all-round agro-ecologist, I'm broadly specialized in diverse aspects of sustainable agriculture, such as biodiversity-based ecosystem services, soil health management and polycultural production systems.
