Can we utilize ecological interactions to design sustainable agricultural systems?
Randa collects soil to measure nematode dispersal as a student at Penn State.
The general themes of my work address biodiversity and community ecology, ecosystem services such as biological pest control and soil quality, and the role of disturbance and habitat heterogeneity in agroecosystems. In particular, I am interested in interactions involving soil, plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies. I enjoy collaborating with social scientists to bring together the human and biophysical dimensions of management of agroecosystems.
I am an assistant professor of agroecology in the Plant Sciences department of University of Wyoming. My appointment is primarily split between teaching and research. Check out our lab blog at http://www.insectag.com and our Instagram account @weevilwarriors.
