About
I am an Agricultural Entomologist with a strong interest in understanding insect–plant–environment interactions and translating research into sustainable, field-relevant pest management solutions. My work and interests span host plant resistance, integrated pest management, and climate-influenced pest dynamics, supported by hands-on experience in both field and laboratory research. I value collaboration, scientific communication, and continuous learning, and I am keen to engage in opportunities that contribute to resilient agriculture and practical impact through research and innovation.
