Dr. Beatrice N. Dingha is a Professor of Entomology at North Carolina A&T State University. She received her BSc in Entomology from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria, specializing in Parasitology and Entomology; her MPhil in Entomology from the University of Ghana, on a German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) scholarship; and her PhD in Entomology from Auburn University, Auburn, USA. Dr. Dingha has over 15 years of experience in research, teaching, and mentoring graduate and undergraduate students. She completed her Postdoctoral Fellowship at Tuskegee University and later joined North Carolina A&T State University. Her research program focuses on the biology, behavior, ecology, and management of insect pests, pollinators, and their interaction, and aims to develop innovative, sustainable, and environmentally friendly solutions to address challenges posed by insect pests and those associated with the decline in pollinator abundance and diversity. Her research identifies cropping systems that can promote pollinator conservation, enhance pollinator health, improve the abundance and diversity of beneficial insects, and increase crop production. She has published extensively as an author and co-author (in peer-reviewed journals and non-refereed). Dr. Dingha is an active member of the Entomological Society of America.
