I am a Ph.D. student in Dr. Rufus Isaacs lab at Michigan State University. My research interests are focused on monitoring and managing insects in agroecosystem by utilizing existing IPM tools and by developing innovative IPM strategies. I am fascinated by research related to understanding insect behavior, insect ecology, and chemical ecology. My PhD research will focus on understanding insect vector dynamics in the grape sour rot complex and developing IPM tactics for its management in vineyards. I strive to contribute to outreach and extension by providing information about insect pests to growers and other stakeholders in an engaging way through educational videos, factsheets, and hands-on activities.
