College of Science
Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.
My main project is the development of Sterile Insect technology for the Sheep Blow Fly (Lucilia cuprina) through a pilot project on Kangaroo island (2021-2027).
From 2016 - 2020 I worked on the impact of the incursion of Russian Wheat Aphid (Diuraphis noxia) in Australia
Smaller projects are focussing on other insect pests and beneficials in Grains.
Before that I worked in France (1997-2016) on IPM in vineyards (Insects, Nematodes and vectored disteases)
