Personal presentation

graduate at Ecologia from Imperial College London (1999), master's at Entomologia aplicada from Imperial College London (2000) and ph.d. at Ph.D. in plant-insect interactions from University of Reading (2006). Has experience in Ecology, acting on the following subjects: semioquimicos, ecologia quimica, parasitoide, interaçoes tritroficas and pentatomidae.

Research activities

My research focusses on how plant traits affect the interactions between plants and insects. I am particularly interested in how plant traits change after interactions with herbivores and how these changes can influence the structure of natural and agricultural communities.
