The primary objective of my research project is to explore the impact of atmospheric pollutants, including ozone, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and diesel exhaust, on the sexual communication and mating behavior of insects.
My long-term aspiration is to integrate subjects such as food science, agriculture, and ecology, with the vision of a more sustainable future that prioritizes the well-being of the environment and human beings.
