I am an entomologist and microbiologist specializing in termites and other wood-feeding insects, with a focus on digestive physiology, microbial interactions, and behavior. My research explores how insect-microbe relationships can be leveraged for sustainable applications, particularly in biodegradation, biofiltration, and bioprocessing.

My background includes:

Microcosm development for studying insect-microbe interactions under controlled conditions.

Microbiome analysis to characterize gut microbial communities and their metabolic functions.

Enzymology and biochemical analytics related to wood digestion and microbial activity.

Pesticide trials evaluating the impact of chemical and biological agents on insect physiology.

Sensor-based monitoring and coding for tracking insect behavior, gas exchange, and microbial metabolic outputs.

I integrate entomology, microbiology, and engineering to develop sustainable technologies, including methane oxidation tracking, biowaste processing, greenhouse gas mitigation, and sustainable agriculture
