Description: Description: My applied research focuses on the detection of and survey for non-indigenous invasive species among the North American insect fauna, particularly in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest. Trained as an insect systematist, I also provide taxonomic support for various exotic pest detection programs in the Northeast, specifically targeting exotic wood-boring insects such as longhorned beetles, bark and ambrosia beetles, and Siricid wood wasps.
