    Research interest:My research interests include Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Biological Control of Insect Pests, Integrated Arthropod Vector Management, Insect Chemical Ecology and the use of Biopesticides in Pest and Vector Management. I have up-to-date knowledge of emerging technologies relevant to enhancing the application of semiochemical-based control methods for economically important insect pests. My expertise includes a strong technical understanding of insect biology, experience in developing mass-rearing techniques, and proficiency in handling standardized experimental protocols.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
