I am an entomologist and a microbial ecologist interested in how microbial symbionts shape insect responses to environmental change. My research combines insect ecology, microbiology, experimental biology, and genomic approaches to understand how variation among microbial partners influences host fitness and ecological interactions.
Research interests: insect–microbe symbiosis | thermal ecology | microbial genomics | insect ecology
