ABOUT ME

I have completed PhD in Entomology from the University of Florida in 2011 followed by postdoc at Texas A&M University. The primary focus of my research is on plant-pest interaction, applications of geo-statistical technique to understand spatial patterns of distribution and ecological niche models of invasive weeds and pests. I have about 15 years of research experience and to date published about 50 research papers in various peer-reviewed journals, book chapters and proceedings of international conferences.
