    I am interested in the interactions between host organisms (insects and plants) and their microbial symbionts (mainly fungi). I study the effects resulting from these interactions, which have both fundamental and applied perspectives. My research focus on:

    • Plant-microbe-insect interactions. 
    • Biological control of insect and mite pests in plant production by use of insect pathogens.
    • Combination of insect pathogens with other biocontrol agents.
    • Insect responses to fungal pathogens, including behavioural and immune responses.
