Current research
1) I am currently working on a project through the College of Forest Resources. My focus is to see how the alteration of diets and the addition of attractants or repellents affects fruit flies' behavior and/or fitness. The results of this research will then be expanded to other species to compare and contrast the actual and perceived habitat quality in nature. 2) I will be starting another project in the Fall (2017) through the Entomology department. I will be studying the fly genome to see if and how Parkinson's Disease can be cured in humans.
