Summary

I am primarily involved in the molecular identification and characterization of exotic insect pests and their natural enemies. The accurate identification of pests and natural enemies is fundamental to developing successful biological control programs. Based in the Stouthamer lab at UCR, I exploit variation in the DNA sequences of individuals to: resolve taxonomic and diagnostic issues; investigate population structure; and, identify the area of origin of exotic pests. I also like dogs (and generally believe that if you don’t like dogs, you’re an idiot)…
