I have expertise and research interest in Public health entomology or insects of medical importance. Using interdisciplinary approach, I have been exploring the impact of human behavior and some environmental factors (climate, urbanization, pollution) on the distribution and bio-ecology of mosquitoes. Currently, I am monitoring insecticide resistance in insects of medical importance including mosquitoes (Anopheles, Culex and Aedes) and bed bugs.
