Keywords: chemical ecology, plant insect interactions, biocontrol, cropping systems

My research focuses on the ecology and evolution of multitrophic plant-insect interactions, with respect their application to agricultural practices against insect pests and their effects on natural insect communities. I integrate behavioural, chemical, and molecular approaches, to answer ecological questions related with the behaviour of insect herbivores, their natural enemies, and pollinators, in response to plant mediated cues in the lab and the field.

I study how environmental cues (i.e. herbivore eggs, plant induced volatiles, and chemical compounds) shape the behavior and physiology of interacting plants and insects, and their consequences for host selection and host specialization in herbivores, pollinators and their natural enemies. 

Currently, I am working as a Junior Researcher at Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA, France), at Versailles-Gringon with major goal to integrate biological control on current cropping systems.  I aim to increase the quality and novelty of my research by developing plant protection strategies based on biological regulations, and not only on the introduction of living organisms such as predators or natural enemies. This systemic approach to biocontrol requires to better understand the interactions between the biocontrol agents (ie. micro-macrorganisms, products) and the properties of the entire agroecosystem.
