Ivan Rwomushana is Senior Scientist, Invasive Species Management, and Global Team Leader for Pest Preparedness under the Plantwise Plus Programme at CAB International (CABI). He holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural Entomology and is based at the CABI Africa Regional Centre, Nairobi, Kenya. Ivan’s research focuses on the development of climate-resilient IPM strategies for the management of invasive pest species that constrain crop production in sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia. He employs basic and applied research to unravel the invasion biology and ecology of invasive pests of agricultural crops and the development of lower-risk pest management options with a strong inclination towards nature-based or biological solutions. His overall research goal is to provide farmers with novel pest management solutions that reduce the heavy reliance on chemical pesticides. He is a member of the Association of African Insect Scientists and the Entomological Society of America. He is also a member of the Locust Drone Technology Advisory Group.
