Areas of interest

  • Understanding the mechanisms driving invertebrate responses to changes in climate and atmospheric conditions
  • Chemical ecology of plant-insect interactions
  • Insect orientation behaviour and pollination ecology
  • Air pollution impacts on the volatile compounds used by insects for communication
  • Aboveground-belowground interactions between plants and insects.

Research projects

Current Projects:

伊人直播app Agrifood ‘Rising Star’ Fellowship - SCAPE: Silicon to Combat the adverse effects of Air Pollution on insect-mediated Ecosystem services (2024-2030). This project capitalises on recent breakthroughs demonstrating how silicon (Si) can alter plant volatile emissions by quantifying the extent to which Si can mitigate the negative impacts of air pollution on pollination and natural pest regulation.
