My research focuses on understanding mechanisms and interactions among species in multitrophic contexts. In doing so, I typically explore and reveal the impacts of microorganism-mediated interactions among plants, herbivores, and natural enemies. I incorporate molecular, biochemical, and physiological approaches to answer long-standing questions in the fields of chemical ecology, behavior, and ecophysiology. Integrating laboratory and greenhouse experiments with field studies provides an opportunity to obtain comprehensive knowledge and examine questions in both controlled and natural environments. My current and ongoing work focus on symbiotic viruses of parasitoid mediated interactions and their consequences on the fitness of plants, herbivores, and natural enemies in both top-down and bottom-up directions.
