I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Forest Entomology at Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute (FFPRI). My primary research interest is the social behavior of insects live in wood, such as termites and wood-boring beetles, and its molecular and physiological underpinnings. In particular, I focus on resource sharing among individuals, which is a fundamental aspect of group living. I am also developing novel pest control methods based on the behavior of target species.
