Thomas Georges A Bawin


Job description

My research focuses on insects, plants, microbes, and their interactions, both from a fundamental and applied perspective. I am especially interested in understanding the dynamics of these interactions, the underlying mechanisms, and how they can be used or manipulated to improve agricultural systems and contribute to human health, food security and sustainability.
