Specialization and Areas of Interest: I teach various integrated pest management (IPM 201, 399, 452/552 and 462/562) and entomology (ENTOM 551 and 565) courses to undergraduate and graduate students. I advise students pursuing the Pest Management Systems major in the Agriculture and Food Systems B.S. degree program and also am an academic advisor for graduate students. My research, both basic and applied, is conducted on the biological control of invasive noxious weeds in rangeland, wildland, and aquatic ecosystems using nonindigenous arthropods and pathogens. Research aspects encompass natural enemy survey, importation, establishment, translocation, impact assessment, and bioagent life history studies. My outreach work involves providing educational programming on biological weed control efforts and responding to constituent requests for information on insect and weed pest identification/management.
