About

I am interested in the proximate mechanisms and ultimate causes of animal behavior (insects in particular). I want to integrate different approaches like natural history, behavioral ecology, chemical ecology, neuroethology, insect physiology and molecular biology to generate a comprehensive understanding of the behavior, physiology and ecology of animals. Presently I am working on biodiversity, insect chemosensation and applied entomology.
