Research interests
As a teaching and research academic within the School of the Environment at the University of Queensland, I research the biology and genetics of mosquitoes in our region of the Indo-Pacific that delivers fundamental knowledge into the role mosquitoes play in mosquito-borne disease. This work moves across basic and applied research and has advanced our understanding of mosquitoes, their evolution, species' distributions, permitting better focused mosquito control to be imagined. More recent research involves exploring new environmentally friendly biological control tools such as using the Wolbachia bacterium and genetic modification to combat mosquito-borne disease.
Mosquito Biology and Evolution; 1) Malaria vectors of our region; 2) Exotic urban arbovirus vectors and biosecurity threats; 3) Endemic arbovirus vectors and biosecurity threats; 4) Biological control of mosquitoes
