Extension and Research Responsibilities

• Research in my lab integrates physiology, biochemistry, and evolutionary ecology to address a range of questions in insect biology. Current topics of interest are: 1) physiological mechanisms underlying phenotypic plasticity in insects with a focus on diapause and reproduction, 2) regulation of metabolism and nutrient allocation in insects emphasizing regulation of storage and subsequent utilization, 3) insects as model systems to study the physiology of human diseases including infertility, diabetes, and obesity.

Teaching Responsibilities

• Teaching responsibilities include a graduate course in insect physiology and graduate and undergraduate courses on selected topics in entomology and biology.
