About
I am currently working on developing Eco - friendly management techniques for palm insect pests. My research works during master and doctoral programme were Host plant resistance and developing insect population dynamics models (Brown planthopper) and assessing climate change impacts on crop - pest interactions in rice, respectively. My areas of interest are microbial pesticides / formulations, insect repellents/ attractants, molecular entomology etc.
