Specialized in insect neuroethology, neuroanatomy, and (in silico) chemical ecology. Focused areas: 1. Chemical ecology of Chinese cordyceps and ghost moth for future biological conservational needs. 2. Behavioral modifier development of cross border invasive insect pests. 3. Insect olfaction and underlined perception. 4. Ecological control strategy incl. IPMs for most emphasized agricultural pest/plants/diseases. 5. TT, extension, training, dissemination, and narratives of project management. 6. International & domestic project development & implementation. Lighlighted works: 1.Dong J. F., Jiang N. J., Zhao X.
