My research interests include the diversity and spread of invasive arthropods and associated pathogens they vector. Within these interests, I enjoy asking questions that relate to sustainable management approaches for controlling these arthropod pests.

My master's research focuses on the genomic analysis of arthropods implicated as the main vector of Lethal Bronzing Disease and well as adult and nymph population and density studies. The nature of this project allows us to answer important questions about invasive arthropods phenology, their associated diseases, and form more effective and sustainable management strategies in the future.
