Jacqueline Serrano
Research Entomologist
Research Entomologist
Education
Ph.D. Entomology (2019) University of California, Riverside
B.S. Biology (2012) University of California, Riverside
Research Interests
Insect chemical ecology and odor-mediated behaviors. Research is focused on the identification of insect semiochemicals and understanding their role in insect behavior. A major goal of the research is to develop practical applications for semiochemicals and other behavior modifying chemicals for IPM programs.
