I am working for the laboratory of Entomology, Wageningen University & Research (WUR). Currently, I am taking part in multiple projects involving the study of between and among organisms interactions. The core of my responsibility revolves around the chemicals that are relevant in plant-insect interaction, plant fitness, insect fitness, and parasitism rate, to name a few. Our research projects involve both biotic and abiotic stress on the highlighted interaction. Some of our research focuses on the influence of:
- Microbiomes
- Drought
- Waterlog
- Herbivory
- Parasitoids and hyperparasitoids
- Insect courtship pheromones
- Pollinators
- Insect exuviae
On insect-plant interaction, insect-insect interaction, as well as above and below-ground organisms interactions.
